compare annotate

The compare annotate command either flags a comparison difference as "ignore" or adds a text string annotation to the difference. The text string appears when the difference is viewed in error message info popups or in the output of a compare info command.

Syntax

compare annotate

[-ignore] [-noignore] [-text <message>] <idNum1> [<idNum2>...]

Arguments

-ignore

Flags the specified difference as "ignore." Optional.

-noignore

Undoes a previous -ignore command. Optional.

-text <message>

Adds a text string annotation to the difference that is shown wherever the difference is viewed. Optional.

<idNum1>

Identifies the difference number to annotate. Required. You can obtain a difference's number using the compare start command or a popup dialog. Difference numbers are ordered by time of the difference start, but there may be more than one difference starting at a given time.

<idNum2>...

Identifies a second, third, etc. difference number to be annotated in the same way as idNum1. Optional. These are individual references; ranges of numbers cannot be specified.

Examples

compare annotate -ignore diff0001 diff0002 diff0010

Flags difference numbers 1, 2, and 10 as "ignore."

compare annotate -text "THIS IS A CRITICAL PROBLEM" diff0012

Annotates difference number 12 with the message "THIS IS A CRITICAL PROBLEM."
