Exporting Differences
For both file and directory comparisons, the differences can be exported to file. Differences can be exported either in XML or in text
format; the available format depends on the comparison mode, according to the following table:
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
File comparison | ![]() ![]() | ![]() | n.a. | ![]() | n.a. |
Directory comparison | ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() | ![]() ![]() |
To export differences to file:
1.Run a file or directory comparison.
2.On the File menu, click Export differences.
3.Enter a destination file name, select the desired format (XML or text), and click Save.
If you are comparing files using the XML comparison mode, note that a certain combination of options causes the Export Differences command to be disabled (grayed out). To enable the command, do the following:
1.On the Tools menu, click Comparison Options.
2.Click the XML tab.
3.Select the Detailed differencing check box.
4.Clear the Ignore node depth check box.
