"C:\Program Files (x86)\Beyond Compare 3\" file1.txt file2.txt Save.txt /silent Now you can create a batch file and write something like this: ![]() ![]() Here is the code from an example I found on the web:įile-report layout:side-bys-de opitons:display-mismatches output-to:%3įile-report layout:side-by-side options:display-mismatches output-to:%3 We use the same base copy method as Explorer if you attempt the same copy (file, source, and destination) are there any extra prompts or error dialogs?Hello Aaron, You can use the Copy To Folder or Move to Folder commands, or right click -> Explorer to use those commands.Ĥ) Could you post the text of the log command?
