Is there a way to save the results of compared files?

If you use non-"Visual" comparison, you can copy and paste the contents of the Tool Output window into a file and save that. If you use "Visual" comparison, there is no way to save the results that I'm aware of.

In case of WinMerge go the window menu Tools > Generate Report to save the results in your favorite format. However, there's no way to import them.

Thanks for the replies. Copy and paste is the simplest.

In fact, you don't need to copy and paste. You can Save As directly from the Tool Output window, saving a few keystrokes.
