Directory comparison - ignore line break style
Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2022 6:19 am
Can anyone tell me how to ignore line break style when doing a directory comparison (using full file comparison)?
I sort of presumed a full file comparison would use the "ignores" that were specified for simple Text Comparison, but it doesn't seem to work like that.
My situation is that I am comparing source code where one location has it with CR/LF and the other has it with just LF. Directory Comparison shows that every file is different, but when I double-click to see the file differences, the resulting File Comparison (which uses the "ignore") says they are identical.
All comments or suggestions welcome!
