If I have 2 files that are set up where certain things are unimportant (spaces, case), in the GUI of DiffMerge I can check the menu option 'Hide Unimportant Differences' and the differences are no longer highlighted.

If I use the command line options to tell the differences of the same two files and tell it to create a 3rd file of any differences, then ALL differences go to that 3rd file. I would like for that to not happen. If the differences are unimportant, then do not write.

Or...Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. I'll log a feature request for this functionality.

Is this implemented in 4.2.0 !
I cant get it to work , can you send me an example.

" Added "-ignore_unimportant" option to the command line interface."

Was this implemented in 4.2.0 ?

The result of comparison in the command line (True\False) attends to the /i switch ?

On the first question, the -ignore_unimportant was implemented and I can see it working fine in my tests. Here is my example that I ran:

sgdm -caption=mydiff -shex -t1=file1 -t2=file2 -ignore_unimportant "C:\Mypath\CheckedOutItemsReport.aspx" "I:\Mypath\BETH_CheckedOutItemsReport.txt"

The result of comparison in the command line (True\False) attends to the /i switch ?

Yes. Here are two more examples:

sgdm -caption=mydiff -shex -t1=file1 -t2=file2 -i "C:\Mypath\CheckedOutItemsReport.aspx" "I:\Mypath\BETH_CheckedOutItemsReport.txt"

sgdm /caption=mydiff /shex /t1=file1 /t2=file2 /i "C:\Mypath\CheckedOutItemsReport.aspx" "I:\Mypath\BETH_CheckedOutItemsReport.txt"
