seandisanti Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Hi,I'm looking for built in function that will compare between 2 text files. (Like comp at DOS)Any ideas?Thx,Liorwhat kind of comparison? i mean do you want a list of lines from one that aren't in the other? a list of every diff char? a list of all lines that are present in both files? a list of all lines in either file? a yes/no response saying that the files are exactly the same or not? sorry, i'm not familiar with comp

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
herewasplato Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 ...(Like comp at DOS)...Check out randallc's User Defined Functions (UDF): http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17615 You could do these same things within AutoIt, but it might be faster to just have AutoIt run the DOS command and display the results in various ways. C:\>comp /? Compares the contents of two files or sets of files. COMP [data1][data2] [/D] [/A] [/L] [/N=number] [/C] [/OFF[LINE]] data1 Specifies location and name(s) of first file(s) to compare. data2 Specifies location and name(s) of second files to compare. /D Displays differences in decimal format. /A Displays differences in ASCII characters. /L Displays line numbers for differences. /N=number Compares only the first specified number of lines in each file. /C Disregards case of ASCII letters when comparing files. /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set. To compare sets of files, use wildcards in data1 and data2 parameters. [size="1"][font="Arial"].[u].[/u][/font][/size]
