csvdiff News

Hi *,

in the "App-Age" a developer has to deliver frequent updates just to signalise that the App is not dead.
csvdiff had it's last update on Feb 2016, just because i think nothing's missing. Also i didn't get a bug report, feature request, ... for a long time => nothing to fix/do
csvdiff is alive if you have any issues, contact me.

Hi all,

There is an updated version of the repository.
The biggest change is the handling of the actual and the expected files. Both input files may contain a different number of columns. The order of the columns can be random. Also column names need not be the same at all.
The combination of colored output and Unix "diff-like" output has been separated.

Added/changed options:
- Changed option -d, only Unix "diff-like" output, no colors anymore.
- Added option -o, for switching colors on/off (both Windows and Unix platforms).
- Added option -Y, for printing some statistics after the comparison.
- Added option -H, for checking all keys.
- Added option -R, for limiting the number of lines for comparison.
- Added option -m, for supplying a file containing a column name mapping file.... read more

Hi *,

on 02-02 i pushed a new version into the Mercurial repository. Now you can use the TAB character as column separator. If you have mor than one key-columns, use blank to separate the on the commandline.

Hi *,

today i released version 2.0 of cavdiff.
This release is mostly a code rework, so the only new feature is that you can use use quotes within data, which was a feedback from Jeremy Courter. Thomas Fahle gave me a idea how to redesign the code.

THANX to both of you!!!

New function: difference & ratio can be calculated for (numeric only ,-}) columns, option r. This is based on a user feedback of Pierre Besnard from France. THANKYOU VERY MUCH!

Hi,

today (2008-07-05) i released version 1.6 of csvdiff as a windows executable. After installing it, by double click on the csvdiff_16_setup.exe, you shoud add the directory wehere the csvdiff.exe, e.g. C:\Programme\csvdiff\bin, is located to your PATH Variable. I described the way to do this in the README file which is located in the resources directory.

Main new feature: numeric comparision for columns

csvdiff was mentioned in the German magazine iX (Magazin für Professionelle Informationstechnik) 02/2008 on page 136-137. It was an article about how to compare and syncronize files.
See: http://www.heise.de/ix/

The only new function in this release is, that the original line number (form actual and expected) will be shown if you compare without key but with sort/grade. The rest of work was "only" cleanup, move code from main into functions and a lot of commenting.
For the next release i plan to implement a function to compare columns you choose numericly, so that e.g. +5 and 5 are no difference.

Hi csvdiff users,

today i released version 1.4 of csvdiff. It has new features, functions, and so closed bugs.

Hallo,

heute (06.08.2007) wurde die deutsche Doku für csvdiff online gestellt. Es hatte sich ein Fehler bei der Angabe der Option zum sortieren in die Doku eingeschlichen.

This is the first translated version of csvdiff docu.

Hi csvdiff user,

today version 0.2 of the german documentation is released.

Bugfix Release 1.3a which corects some minor bugs.

German doku for csvdiff 1.3 is now available. English doku will follow soon.

Happy new year!

A second output is implemented, it look "diff like" but with colours

In this release i implemented a sort routine which should be used if there are no keycolumns in your datafiles, to get a better compare result.
Empty lines are now ignored.

Hi,

the next feature to be implemented will be a sortalgorithm for diff without keycolumn. This will improof comparing if there is no keycolumn, but it will not solve my problem to implement a syncronisation between the files. If there's someone outthere who has a idea how to realise this, please contact me (r-sch@users.sourceforge.net).

Yours

Roland
