|
| I have and use compare by AARDSOFT but I was wondering if anyone had found a better comparison tool. You know for when you want a head to head comparison with older code to newer code. Thanks. |

Thanks

|
|
| I need to compare two source codes ie cls,bas,frm looking for differences between them. Some of the code may be dropped or added in either module, function or sub. Compare does this at the module level but not at the project level. The main thrust of the tool is to disclose code variances. I would prefer to just point at two projects and have a tool report the differences in the entire project. |

I don't know of one but I imagine it is something easy to make... Off the top of my head you can just read both files, split it by vbCrLf and compare the lines. Before you start comparing you can check some things like number of lines and file size so there aren't probably any differences...
