QuickSpot File Compare for Windows

The description of QuickSpot File Compare - Play With New Friends

QuickSpot is a visual file compare utility and folder compare utility. It compares 2 text-files or folders and highlights the differences found between them. File-differences can be reported in detail, down to each individual byte or character. Lines that are not in synch will be highlighted for quick identification. Differences can be edited, viewed, printed or saved as a file.In QuickSpot, you can set unique comparison-criteria that find the needle in the haystack! You can compare specific lines or all lines, narrow down the comparison across specific positions per line, and filter out source-code comments. You can also skip a number of lines repeatedly, or compare different ranges in the files.File- and folder-editing features allow a quick fix of the discrepancies found by QuickSpot. A scrolling line-container lets you compare any 2 lines and shows all differences between them, character by character. You can deal with any discrepancy found right on the spot. In addition, there is a find/replace option and support for copying/merging text between the 2 files; files can also be saved and printed. In the folder-section, individual files can be viewed/opened, deleted, renamed, moved or copied.Various options are available how to display the loaded files or folders and the discrepancies between them. All settings can be changed at any time and can be saved permanently.QuickSpot can be run in a batch process, comparing 2 files or folders that are supplied on the command-line as arguments, and writing the results into a file, which is also supplied as a further command-line argument. This works both from a command-window (the DOS-prompt) and from the Windows Run menu.
