Filtereinstellung

[Ralf1508]

Um die Satznummern z.B. N690 usw. nicht als wichtigen Unterschied darstellen zu lassen habe ich den Filter N gesetzt. Leider wird dadurch der Unterschied in Satznummer N690 für S2=140 und S2=120 nicht erkannt.

Was für einen Filter müsste ich setzen, damit die Satznummern mit N nicht verglichen werden, aber der nachfolgende Inhalt der Zeile schon?

N690 G96 S2=140 F0.5 M2=4 N350 G96 S2=120 F0.5 M2=4

N690 und N350 als Unterschied ignorieren, aber G96 S2=140 F0.5 M2=4 auf einen Unterschied überprüfen.

Vielen Dank

You can define a Substitutions filter like ^N\d+ to replace Nxxx with an empty string.

Thank you very much for this helpful solution.

But another question is, why WinMerge ignores the different N-numbers until row 90, but marks the differences down row 97?

I tried creating a text like the one in your screenshot and compared it, but I couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please attach the files you compared? Also, please share your Substitutions filter settings.

Hello and thank you very much for your help.

Attached two files to compare.

Everything is fine from line 33 until 54 because the different N-numbers are recognized but marked only bright yellow. The same from line 59 until 90

But from line 97 until 124 there are also different N-numbers but the difference is marked dark yellow as important differences. I would expect, that only line 110 will be dark yellow, because of the difference S2=140 and S2=120

And here’s are my substitutions filter settings, like you told me to do:

It seems that the attachments and substitution filter settings were lost in the email. Also, the substitution filters are shown as ***@***.***

Could you please reply directly on the GitHub issue via the web browser instead of by email?

Ah, I forgot that you might be using an older version of WinMerge.

If you're not using the latest version of WinMerge, please update to the latest version. In older versions, if a Diff hunk contains any line that cannot be ignored after applying the Substitution filter, the entire hunk is shown as different.

[Ralf1508]

Now I use the Version 2.16.46.0 but there's no improvement for the result.

[sdottaka]

Could you try using version 2.16.48.2?

[Ralf1508]

Yes, I tried using version 2.16.48.2 and now it's working like I expected. Thank you very much for your help.
