Perforce diff

[Rashid-Malik]

Dear friends,

I am using perforce server for source code management. It has a diff tab for performing diffs. It has configuration options for external modules. Which utility do I need for performing VI diffs using Perforce and also specify the command line parameters that need to be passed to it.

Thanks!

Hello,

One option to do a diff is to use the Tools >> Compare VI within LabVIEW if you would like to do Graphical Differencing within LabVIEW. This is described more in this document about using Perforce within LabVIEW. http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4631

Also, I was a little confused about the 'command line parameters' bit. Are these commands with which to do the differencing?

Hello Andrew_E ! Thanks for the reply. That link you pointed out seems quiet useful. I'll be reading it afterwards. And yes those parameters I queried about were indeed the ones with which to tell the perforce which two files (versions) were to be diffed (one currently in workspace with one in depot).

We are using perforce from P4V client and not from within LabVIEW project. That is, we have not integrated Perforce into LabVIEW, but rather are using it from its own client software.

Hey C .Dot,

After some extension and being told it could be done by thisCommunity discussion. I finally found this forum which talks of some tools that you can use to do graphical programming. Not sure if it will work in perforce, but i think it might.

Regards,

Andrew
