Beyond Compare - ignore white lines

5k views Asked by Owen At 22 February 2011 at 14:12

I'm using Beyond compare to Diff HTML/PHP files between a windows PC and a Linux box. I want to compare file contents.

I can't figure out how to get it to ignore white space (line spaces or space at the start/end of lines).

I'm sure this should be doable, right?

Try setting your file format and turning on the Ignore Unimportant Differences option:

If that doesn't work for you you might want to take a look at WinMerge as a free alternative: http://winmerge.org/
