Compare 2 vi

[alex.]

IN the source control of LV, there is a function to compare 2 vi if they are the same and mark the difference.

Is it possible to call this function by command line?

turbot,

LVDIFF is an open source "frontend"  to the LabVIEW compare function for use in an external Source Code Control System or as a command line tool

   http://meta-diff.sourceforge.net/index.html

You may have to adapt the sources to your LabVIEW version. Search the forum for "lvdiff" to get some more hints.


hope this helps

that is nice, but is it possible to not let the result pop up as windows to show the difference, just let it feedback as some text or log files.

I need to integrate into my own program.

Thanks.

turbot,

well, that was what you asked for.


I have only used the interactive mode of the compare functions so far, but ...

If you look into the lvdiff.vi block diagramm, you can see a call (via viserver) to <lvdir>\project\procmphier.llb\CMP compare two VIs.vi with the input Interactive? set to TRUE.
Change this input parameter to FALSE and wire the output parameters same? and Description to a function that does whatever you want to be done  with that information.


Happy wiring
