Question

Using a .cmd files that calls a .txt file to generate a txt report. Trying to do a folder compare but that keeps coming up blank

Answer 1

Use the file-report scripting command.

load c:\folder1 c:\folder2
expand all
select all.files
file-report layout:summary output-to:c:\out.txt

To run the script, use the command line:

bcompare.exe @c:\script.txt
