File comparison tool: Add a ''string compare'' feature

Post by *wanderer »

TC at this moment has a decent file comparison tool. It would be nice if there was a way (probably in a screen similar to the existing one) to paste some text in each of the panels (instead of loading files) and let TC compare them.

The whole comparison process already exists, it just works with files only, which is very inconvenient for a quick-compare when needed (and personally, i have wished for such a tool many times).

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3 (very rarely nowadays).
x64: Clients/Servers - Win10/Win11 and Win2K16 to Win2K22, mainly Win10 though.

For now, you can create two temporarily files in %temp% folder and run TC with a button similar to the following one

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD64.EXE
/s=c %%temp%%\1.txt %%temp%%\2.txt
%COMMANDER_PATH%\WCMICONS.DLL,49
TOTALCMD64
%COMMANDER_PATH%\

After launching Compare tool, enter Edit mode and paste text you want to compare.
