UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

compare A.txt with B.txt using windiff and display an output of no configuration found if both txt file is the same and the output will display the differences if the files are different.

how should i program it by using sed.exe and winDiff.exe?

Hi Rita,

you can use %ERRORLEVEL% in windows. take a if conditional for this errorlevel and decide whether compare success/failure.
Errorlevels are given for every command.
eg:
C:\>echo ilan
ilan

C:\>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0

C:\>

you can use the same way with windiff etc...

-ilan

My batch script (1)

ECHO off
set path=%PATH%;D:\DS

d:\ds\windiff D:\11\Share\output_A.txt d:\11\Share\output_B.txt

How should i program in order to take the difference after windiff have compare to another file ( eg : output_C.txt )?

del tmp*.txt


My batch script (2)

ECHO off
set path=%PATH%;D:\DS

call D:\testA
call D:\testB

::Compare the output of testA and testB

d:\ds\windiff D:\output_A.txt d:\11\Share\output_B.txt > goto login.cfg_ERROR

del tmp*.txt

result on command window for batch file 2: The system cannot find the batch label specified - login.cfg_ERROR

Hmm sorry. I dun really understand what u mean
