Get differences just from the second file

Postby André » Thu May 05, 2011 11:55 am

Hi,
I downloaded the software and I have already read guide and forum.
I would like to know if it is possible to find differences in two text files and get an output which contains just what is different in the second file and nothing more.
Thank you so much

Run the text compare, select View - Just Differences (red unequal symbol in toolbar), right click on right pane and left click on Copy Frame To Clipboard. Open any text editor and paste the clipboard content to have only the different lines of second file without any additional data in a text file.

To get just the differences with additional data like line numbers, run the text compare and select Just Differences. Then open Options - Configuration - Backup & Save and select from the list of available Output Formats the format Display result for one frame only and close the configuration dialog with OK. Left click into right frame to make it the active one. Now execute File - Save Result Report.
