I have ExamDiff Pro Version 3.2c.
I have the problem, that I have to compare source code files (Borland Delphi Sources) of two different projects.
Those projects started with the same source but then they get split apart (so they are indipendend now).
In one source file there are plitter lines (comments) in the source:
Code: Select all
end; // of the previous function
{------------------------------------------------------------------------------}
function anything ...
Code: Select all
end; // of the previous function
function anything...
Most of these lines AND THE NEXT BLANK LINE are marked as different (so the comment line and the following blank line are highlighted).
In the options I checked on the page "Compare" in the section "Ignore" every checkbox (also the "Blank Lines).
In the RegEx field I entered
\{-+\}
to ignore all lines beginning with a {, then followed by any amount of - characters and ending with a }.
The checkbox in front of the field is also checked.
The problem now is, that only one comment is ignored.
This difference is shown as "one line difference" (only the comment line is marked as difference and the next line after the comment is not marked).
But most of my comments are marked with the next blank line, so here the RegEx is not working.
But WHY?
If I ignore "Blank Lines" and the "RegEx", then ExamDiff Pro should ignore all comments.
Please help me!
Greetings
