Directory Match

Directories

Enter the source and target directories, either:

directly
from the drop-down list of the last 15 directories referenced
from the browse button >>
from menu item: Favorites|Select from favorites...

Swap the two directories using menu item: Options|swap source and target directories.

Type

Type selects the file extensions of files to be compared. Use the browse button to configure the selections.

Match configuration

Select:

Include subdirectories
Compare timestamps - if selected, then files that have the same contents but different timestamps are shown. Otherwise, only file contents are compared.

Match

Matches the directories and displays a list of different files.

This enables some or all of the following buttons:

Compare - compare source and target files
Compare All - compare all source and target files
External Diff - compare using external differencing program
Open - open in J development session (if available)
View - view file
Copy - copy from source directory to target directory (if appropriate)
Ignore - remove file from display

View menu

The view menu configures the display:

Contents only - show only those files whose contents differ
Ignore source files earlier than target

Tools menu

Copy source files not in target - copies the files from source to target directories
Copy source files later than target - copies files with later timestamps from source to target directories
Copy all source files - copies all files from source to target directories
Delete target files not in source - deletes the files
Print - prints the current display of different files

External Diff

An external differencing program may be used if previously configured in menu Edit|Configure|External Programs|File Comparison.

Subversion

If you are using the subversion version control system (a modern replacement for CVS), then this keeps a copy of the last checked out source in subdirectories .svn. In Directory Match, select menu Options|Use subversion source to match the target directory against the subversion source.
