Compare Vi for revision control

[jyang72211]

Hi all,

There are files in c:/.../LabVIEW 2009/templates, .../user.lib, vi.lib, etc that I modified.  They are in the LabVIEW folders, so that they will show up properly on my pallete.  However, I can't source safe these locations, so I also put these files in c:/SC.  What I want to do is to write a VI that would compared the files from two location (LabVIEW locations and source safe location), and if the files under the LabVIEW folders are different, they will all be overwritten.  Can you give me some hints? Thanks!

Yik

Under Functions>>Connectivity>>Source Control there is a vi called SCC Compare VIs.vi. That looks like a great place to start.

Personally, I think overwriting NI examples is a bad idea. Why didn't you simply copy and rename and avoid all this?

Hi Dennis,

I plan to distribute this app to other developer in the team, so that I don't have to tell me which files are updated and where to put the files

Under %ProgramFiles%\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Compare\ there's the LVCompare.exe which you could use a a Diff tool for your SCC provider.

Hope it helps
