How to report only differences in RIGHT SIDE text comparison with Beyond Compare?

1.3k views Asked by At

I am using Beyond Compare 4 to compare 2 text files. I run BCompare.exe in the Windows command line and run this script:

# Script.txt
select right.diff
text-report layout:side-by-side options:display-mismatches output-to:"%3" "%1" "%2"

My layout option is side-by-side, but I do not actually want this. I want the output report to show ONLY differences from the RIGHT SIDE.This is what I was attempting to do in the first line select right.diff, but from what I know, that command is used for folder comparisons, not text.

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Note: The %1, %2, %3 refers to the file locations of the arguements I pass into the command line. %3 is my output file, %1 is left input file and %2 is right input file.

Beyond Compare doesn't provide a method to output only one side in a report. A report layout that only outputs one side is on the feature wish list for a future version, but it doesn't have a scheduled release date.
