Multiple File Option

[vaulter2000]

I'm in the process of evaluating this software for purchase and would like to know if it can take, as input, a list of files and compare each file in the list to a similar file in another location. This second file would be provided in the list as well. The list would look somthing like this...

/filea.ext /filea2.ext
/fileb.ext /fileb2.ext
/filec.ext /filec2.ext

where the files in the first column would be compared to the file in the second column. The result would be a report showing which files had differences and what those differences are.

If this functionality doesn't exist the would the recommendation be to compare each file in the list individualy?

Finally, would the files have to be on the same server, locally, or can they be compared via the web with http?

There's no direct implementation of this.

You could write a batch script with lines like:

Code: Select all

examdiff /filea.ext /filea2.ext /o:diff1.txt
examdiff /fileb.ext /fileb2.ext /o:diff2.txt
examdiff /filec.ext /filec2.ext /o:diff3.txt

Finally, would the files have to be on the same server, locally, or can they be compared via the web with http?

All of the above (you'll need to install ExamDiff Pro with plug-ins in order to compare files over http).
