Compare two report templates (.TDR) to know the differences

[Durai26]

Is there a way to compare two report templates(.tdr) to get to know about the differences between the files? Differences can be new features addition or deletion of existing objects like that, want to know about these changes.

I have multiple version of *.TDR files, would like to now the actual differences between two different version of files.

regards,

Durai

Hello Durai.

Unless you know the content and just want to compare minor adjustments, such comparison would be quite general.

Idea is:

• loop over all pages
• for each page loop over all objects
• for each object type open it and get/read the properties
• collect/write the results in a kind of data file (XML or others)

Then the same with the second report; thereafter compare the results.

For me such work seems more complicate as a new creation of the report as you need it now.
