Re: [Codestriker-user] How to use Codestriker to display a diff between two different files or many different pairs of different files?

Just use the regular diff command on these two files, eg:

diff a.txt b.txt > output.txt

You can then load output.txt as your review topic.

diff a1.txt b1.txt > output1.txt
diff a2.txt b2.txt > output2.txt
diff a3.txt b3.txt > output3.txt

cat output1.txt output2.txt output3.txt > output.txt

The output.txt file will then have the concatenation of all diffs in a
single file, which you can then upload to Codestriker as a single
review.

Cheers,
David
