In short, I need to do a "file compare." I can easily extract the source code from the .xml files (I wrote a program to do exactly that), so what I'm looking for is essentially software that can compare two plain text files. If one file contains, say, a lengthy method not included in the other file, I can delete the extra method in the one file so that the "file compare" program won't be confused by the two files being greatly different. What I need is a Windows program that can compare two plain text files and tell me where and how the two files differ. Any advice? Thanks in advance. Barry Traver P.S. The reason I need to do this is that somehow I introduced a bug between the two versions, and I can find the bug only if I can check what's been changed from the earlier version to the later. The program is a lengthy one (over sixty pages to print out the source code), Top xbww Post subject: Re: Best Way to Compare Two Versions of REAL Studio progam?Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 10:03 pm Joined: Wed Oct 12, 2005 5:30 pm Posts: 104 Location: Bryan, Texas We had the same issue and used Arbed http://www.tempel.org/Arbed For plain text we use UltraEdit http://www.ultraedit.com/ Maybe you can try their demo.

After I switched to MAC, I lamented that fact that UE was not available.... until about 2 yrs ago now. I was on the Beta Test team and I guess made enough signifcant suggestions, and tracking down bugs, that they gave me a lifetime license... Now I use UEW for windows, and UEM for OSX.... both come with UCLite (Ultra Compare) which would be perfect for what you describe. _________________ Dave Sisemore MacPro, OSX Lion 10.7.4 RB2012r1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top languer Post subject: Re: Best Way to Compare Two Versions of REAL Studio progam?Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 11:40 pm Joined: Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:59 pm Posts: 53 Location: Arizona, USA We use Beyond Compare at our place; and of course I use that for myself as well. _________________ Windows XP SP3 RS 2011r3 /2012r1 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 4 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
