Cā;
SRCCOM will compare or merge your source files.
Command format: <ofspec><switches>ā<ifs1>,<ifs2>
The <ofspec> may be omitted in which case <ifn1> with the extension
.LST will be used. Note where the <switches> go!
<switches> is of the form /<switch>{/<switch>} where <switch> may
be:
<digit> Sets the number of consequative lines which must be identical
before a match is considered seen. Default is 3.
B Consider <cr>,<lf>,<ff> and SOS line numbers and page marks as
text. This allows differences in pagination to be detected.
C Ignore everything between ; and line breaks, i.e. comments.
D Ignore ETV directories.
E * Print the lines which matched after a run of differences.
F Insert a [FF] before the first output page is printed.
I Do a merge assuming I as the merge command.
L Print the last label found in the header lines for differences.
M Do a merge. See below for special considerations.
S Ignore spaces and tabs.
W * Prefix each output line by the file number from which it came.
X Use the <ofspec> as a command file from which to take commands.
The commands are printed out as they are executed.
Y same as /X but don't type out the commands as they are executed.
Z Type out some statistics after the comparison is performed.
* means you must type the switch if you DON'T want the feature.
In merge mode (/M or /I), the <ofspec> receives all lines which are
identical in both files; when a difference occurs, merge command mode
is entered, signified by a > typed in column 9, and you have several
options as to what to do with the text. If you type ? at that point
you will see an explanation of the various possibilities.
Note that if you specify /M or /I, you automatically get /B and /E.
The previous version of SRCCOM is still available as SRCCOM.OLD.
