Display compared file name in the output file

[singhha]

Hello Seniors,

I have a query (may sound little too basic).

How to provide the compared file name in the output file?

As I have around 100 files and I have created a batch and now want to run it through. Now if I run it then output file will display the difference accordingly. But I want to insert the file name also in the beginning.

I have following command:
@echo off
uc -t "D:\Test1\Smile1.pdf" "D:\Test2\Smile2.pdf" -ne -o "D:\Test\output.txt"
uc -t "D:\Test1\Smile3.pdf" "D:\Test2\Smile4.pdf" -ne -o "D:\Test\output.txt"

But I want to display the compared file name also in the output file (i.e. in output.txt).
Kindly help

There are 4 different output formats. All of them contain at top the names of the compared files. But you are right, there is a problem with comparing PDF files as UC must extract the text within the PDF files to temporary files. On comparison of PDF files the output file contains the names of the temporary files instead of the PDF files. The name of temporary files are of no use for anybody. I will report this special issue to IDM support by email.

You can workaround this issue with following commands in your batch file:

@echo off
echo [ 1 ] D:\Test1\Smile1.pdf>D:\Test\output1.txt
echo [ 2 ] D:\Test2\Smile2.pdf>>D:\Test\output1.txt
uc -t "D:\Test1\Smile1.pdf" "D:\Test2\Smile2.pdf" -ne -op "D:\Test\output1.txt"
echo [ 1 ] D:\Test1\Smile3.pdf>D:\Test\output2.txt
echo [ 2 ] D:\Test2\Smile4.pdf>>D:\Test\output2.txt
uc -t "D:\Test1\Smile3.pdf" "D:\Test2\Smile4.pdf" -ne -op "D:\Test\output2.txt"

The echo commands write 2 lines at top of the 2 output files with the names of the PDF files compared and UC appends the output of the comparisons.
