parameters for Comparetool

jmwap · Post by *jmwap » 2012-11-23, 09:46 UTC

I am using an external tool to compare files (vim). I need to pass some arguments besides the two files, is there a way to add such params?

Without adding some button preferably.

I have tried adding the params in the Comparetool line but that seems to be only to find the exe, and fails.

A search in the forums didnt clarify this.

thanks

Batch file or script?

yes, I have resorted to that, there is no other way apparently, but it feels a bit dirty

If you tell me executable name and parameters, I'll compile tiny proxy executable for you.

thank you very much for the offer, but I won't bother you with it. It's very possible that I'll modify params used along the way, so I will keep using the .bat and modify it without asking someone else.
