FComp.bat: Reformating FC output to get better info

#1 Post by Aacini » 10 Nov 2012 22:26

FC.EXE program is one of the most used DOS commands; however, it's output is confusing and annoying and always require an additional effort to make the most of it. If a mismatched section is too large, screen output is just useless so it is customary to redirect FC output to a file and then open the file in order to make good use of the result. I need to use FC in my everyday job, so I frequently complained about it... Until now!

I wrote a Batch program that take FC output and rearrange it in a way that is much more pleasant to read. The program identify new sections added between two lines of original file, or sections deleted from original file, or sections that was modified in any other way (updated) and display them in a format that allows you to identify each case in an easy way. When a section is updated the old and new versions are displayed side by side, so they can be easily compared.

Cool! 8)

FComp.bat is designed to meet most FC output details and glitches. For example, FC command split long output lines every 127 characters and lost the character at position 128 in each division, so I had to insert a patch to manage this situation. Occasionally the initial line of an updated section is not the same in both versions; if the resulting section is only 2 lines long it may be erroneously reported as an added or deleted section, so I had to manage this particular case with special code again. Anyway, I am afraid that my program will make mistakes now and then, but I am tired of made endless tests and the program grew too much already.

To use FComp.bat place the same FC parameters and switches in the usual way. In this case, /N switch (numbered lines) could be very useful.

For example, this is the output of FComp OriginalPost.txt ModifiedPost.txt:

I slightly modified FComp.bat program above to get FC parameters and switches in the original order; I think it is simpler this way. I also made a couple cosmetic changes. This is the output of FComp /N /W FComp.OLD FComp.bat:

Re: FComp.bat: Reformating FC output to get better info

#3 Post by Aacini » 15 Dec 2014 21:44

I have modified the original FComp.bat program in order to get just the modifications of the first file when it is compared vs the second one. This data may serve to obtain the new version of a certain file when the modifications are applied to original file via the new Update-Rollback.bat program. This way, when several versions of a file needs to be posted, these two programs allows to post just the first version of the file and all the necessary modifications files. If the base file is big, this method may save a large amount of space.

The method may also be used in the opposite direction: post only the last version of a file and post also a modifications file in the reverse direction that allows to roll back to the previous version. This method is convenient if the last version is the important one, but allows to recover previous versions if they are needed for any reason. For further details, execute Update-Rollback.bat program with no parameters.

This is the new version of FComp.bat program with /Modifications switch:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem FComp.bat: Format FC output in a pleasant way
