[closed] XML Tidy before comparison
[closed] XML Tidy before comparison
Often outputs of various tools are not quite the same, or are not really usable for comparison. One of my least favorite examples is the .igproj files from Infragistics, which are XML files on one very long line. If you could add the option to pass the files through XML Tidy (or whatever tool is associated with the file extension), then I could really compare the files in a usable way. Of course you should only do that if you think it's "possibly" dirty based on other criteria (date/size).
XML support
I just downloaded CompareIt! which looks like a great tool, but I also use it mainly with XML files produced by different engines. I had a look in the list of converters you mentioned but don't see a convert for XML files. As it is when comparing too files, if they are not formatted identically it is a painful process.grigsoft wrote:Hmm, do you want this for Synchronize It?
In Compare It! you can use our Convertors feature. Open Options/Converters, define which tool to use to convert specified files. This tool will be called for all such files automatically.
Am I missing something or looking in the wrong place?
XML Tidy
I did try to get the XML Tidy to work but had no success. Under "Tools->Options->Options I selected Converter.
I added a new converter with ".xml" as the mask. In the command field I put the path to XMLTidy.exe.
In the arguments field I put -config <path to config.txt> {$Source_File}
Is this incorrect?
