Example 1
DiffDoc /M

/S
"d:\a\Socrates.TXT"

- Display
them in Side By Side mode.
- Display
the status of the comparison once completed (the / V switch - verbose).
Example
2
DiffDoc /M
"d:\a\Aristotle.DOC"
/S
"d:\a\Socrates.DOC"
/F1 /L
D:\a\compare.LOG
This command line instructs
DiffDoc to:
- Compare
two files "D:\A\Aristotle.DOC" to "D:\A\Socrates.Doc"
- Display
them in All In One mode (/F1).
- Create
a log file D:\a\Compare.LOG with the /L switch.
Example
3
DiffDoc /M
"d:\a\Aristotle.DOC"
/S
"d:\a\Socrates.DOC"
/F1 /R1 /T
"D:\a\Report.HTM" /7"Geek Philosophers" /O
/L"D:\A\compare.LOG" /X
This command line instructs
DiffDoc to:
- Compare
two files "D:\A\Aristotle.DOC" to "D:\A\Socrates.Doc"
- Display
them in the All In One mode
(/F1).
- Generate
an HTML report (/R1 /TD:\a\Report.htm)
and a log file (/LD:\a\Compare.LOG).
- Change
the title of the html report (/7 "Geek Philosophers").
- Open
the report (/O) to be viewed once the comparison is done.
Close DiffDoc once the comparison is done and the report has been opened
(/X).
DiffDoc /M
"d:\a\Aristotle.DOC"
/S
"d:\a\Socrates.DOC"
/F2 /R1
/T "D:\a\Report.DOC"
/7"Geek Philosophers" /O
/L"D:\A\compare.LOG" /X
This variation of Example 3
instructs DiffDoc to:
- Generate
the same report as above, but side
by side (/F2 replaces /F1).
- Create
the output report in html, but have it open in MS Word, by giving
the target file a *.DOC extension.
