Regexp in WinMerge filter is only for ignoring single lines in diff- engine, you cannot modify data. If regexp you define matches line, that line is ignored and not compared to another file. If you want to modify data before compare, then 2.0 has no means for it. Latest 2.1.x builds have implemented plugins-interface, which allows modifying text buffers before they are sent to diff-engine. Regards, Kimmo -- Kimmo Varis - ki...@ko... |
