Thanks Rich, that looks like the sort of thing that might do the trick. Alas, when I enter a multi-line grep into a file filter and save it, then select that file filter when comparing two folders full of files, I get this error... "null argument (application error code: 12252)" Does that ring a bell with you? Thinking it might be the multi-line grep that was the problem, I copied just one line of those grep lines posted above and pasted it in, getting the same result. Since I selected two quite different versions of a sub-folder in my set of ZC files, I expect some sort of result with even the simplest of greps.
