output 3-way diff to file?

[dnelsen]

Hello,

I was attempting via command line to output a 3way diff and this does not appear possible.

I am using the below:

Code: Select all

diffmerge.exe /diff="C:\files\diff.txt" C:\files\1\viewTips.jsp C:\files\2\viewTips.jsp C:\files\3\viewTips.jsp

The command executes but there is not file created.

If I do simply:

Code: Select all

diffmerge.exe /diff="C:\files\diff.txt" C:\files\1\viewTips.jsp C:\files\2\viewTips.jsp

The diff.txt file is correctly created.

Does the program not support a 3-way diff output or is my syntax in correct.

The windows help within the problem states:
diffmerge.exe [ options ] [ pathname1 [ pathname2 [ pathname3 ] ] ]

Thanks.

Sorry, but the output-to-a-file option only works for 2-way file diffing.
It doesn't currently handle 3-way merges. You should get an error
message or dialog when you try that.

I'll log a bug to add that feature.
