Sorry Ganesh for the late reply. I was off work and didn't check back.
It turns out it didn't actually work. It seems the output I was looking at
was one from a manual comparison of the diff utility which I had done. I
just tried it again now and nothing actually happened.... I don't think
I've got the syntax correct yet. This is what I have:
Dim file_name
Dim Results
Dim PredictionLocation
Dim oShell
file_name = DataTable.Value("INPUT_FILE_NAME", dtGlobalSheet)
Results = "\\Server\share\Folder\Folder\Projects\Folder\Folder\Folder
\Results\" & file_name
PredictionLocation = "\\Server\share\Folder\Folder\Projects\Folder\Folder\
Folder\Results\PredictionData\" & file_name
Set oShell =CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run """C:\Apps\GnuWin32\bin\mydiff.bat"""&" -bBiu "& Results &" "&
PredictionLocation &""
I'm calling a batch file now instead of the actual diff.exe because it
seems I have another problem as well. My variables (Results and
PredictionLocation) don't seem to be translated. Rather than pass my file
locations it's been passed as a string. So I use the batch to be able to
see what is actually been passed.
It could very well be that it's my variables that is not allowing it to run
properly. Once I get the chance I'll remove the variables and hardcode the
file locations and see what happens.
