Bernard: What's available in 4D Write Pro that would make this easier?
My current thinking is that we're going to archive these documents when there's s change in the hash value and then compare them with Beyond Compare. BC costs $30, can be run from the command line, and produces a decent looking report. That's a very cost effective solution, n'est ce pas? -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 9:18 AM, bernard--- via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > Doug, > > It would be better to migrate to Write Pro before creating a diff for > Write documents. > As Chuck pointed, you could compare plain text. > If written in 4D, you could adjust your features ; not too difficult (I > have written one for comparing methods). > > Bernard Escaich > > > > Le 25 avr. 2017 à 19:17, Douglas von Roeder via 4D_Tech < > 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> a écrit : > > > > Chuck: > > > > Thanks for your thoughts.
