I can't get KDiff3 to use it's excellent "preprocessor command" which can eliminate noise -- the type of noise that is easily introduced by SVN keywords -- when trying to do diffs on source.
For example, this command works as expected on the command line: cat about.php | /bin/sed 's/\$\(LastChangedRevision\|HeadURL\|LastChangedBy\|LastChangedDate\).*\$/\$\1\$/' When I plug the same sed command into KDiff3's preference window (kdiff3 Version 0.9.94 Using KDE 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4)), it tells me that pre-processing has failed and sure enough - I get tons of false positives in a directory compare and individual files whose only difference is some SVN keyword (fully expanded) e.g. * @since $LastChangedDate: 2006-06-24 22:03:16 -0400 (Sat, 24 Jun 2006) $ Yes, I can use Meld, but like the song says: <lyrics artist="ZZ Top">I want my MTV</lyrics> I want my KDiff3 Greg Rundlett nbpt 978-225-8302 m. 978-764-4424 -skype/aim/irc/twitter freephile http://profiles.aim.com/freephile _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
