Icy EyeG Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Hi all!Does anyone knows how do I compare two TXTSETUP.SIF files?Is there a program for it?Thanks in advance... EDIT: I found out that WinMerge is a possibility, but I was looking for a specific program that would compare the two TXTSETUP.SIF files and detect file duplications, sintax errors, etc...

MOONLIGHT SONATA Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) currently, there's no tool that compares txtsetup.sif(s) in particular. you can settle for winmerge, a good program. There are two alternatives to winmerge, both are very good file comparer. Use either ExamDiff or CSDiff.I've two advices for detecting errors in txtsetup.sif:1. arrange every file name in txtsetup.sif in alphabetical order. my txtsetup.sif has 17696 lines after erasing all the blank space blocks in txtsetup.sif of xp service pack 2.This alphabetically insetrted file names saved me from duplicate file name entries.2. whenever you compare txtsetup.sif(s) in winmerge or examdiff or csdiff, always check for the number of commas in entries, e.g, imapi.sys = 100,,,,,,,4,0,0fips.sys = 1,,,,,,,4,0,0Your custom inclusions mainly will have syntax like given above. always check for whether more or less than 7 commas have been used somewhere or not. this saves a lot of headaches.Good luck.
