A Feature request for Check Version Diff between two files.

Look at the Link:
Shows two Files Diff:

It is better to read as your current Version.

I would favor the solution to be able to bind an external (and arbitrary) diff-program to the diff-command in Textpad. You should be able to edit some command-line parameters similar to the definition of user tools.

This is less work for the Textpad-people and everyone can have his favorite diff. I like Examdiff, I know people who like the standard UNIX diff output best (I don't know why).

I love the old VAX/VMS diff output. Does anyone know of a Windows utility that formats it output in a similar manner? Email me if you're afraid to reveal yourself as one of those thunder lizards who once roamed the Earth.

TIA,

Funduc has a utility called File Merge Express that's great. http://www.funduc.com

Their S&R utility is dynamite, too.

I currently use Examdiff as my External Compare tool in Texpad.
Like erveryone else I can only get textpad to pass the current file. ($file)
As a short cut I list the paramater as $file $file. Normally my files are in the same path and I only have to change the filename rather than the entire path.

If they would add a $file1 and $file2 etc, I would be able to have this work automatically.

Would this support be difficult to add?

Let me be sure I understand this discussion.... although embedded in a discussion of a specific tool, e.g., a DIFF utility, the request is actually more general... i.e., it is a request that Textpad be outfitted with support for multiple file specification in the Tool macros. If this is the case then I, too need this.

What I would like is support for all marked files in the current document selector pane... maybe as $file[1], $file[2], etc., etc.... since an array is probably the machinery behind the open documents selector pane anyway, this should be a reasonable provisionand extending the $file macro in this manner adds value way beyond the coding effort.
