How to compare two files in Windows 7 prof 64 bit

I have two files which has several files. I would like to compare the two files and see which folder has more files, and what are their names? How I do that in Windows 7 prof 64 bit? Is useful that I can download?

Hey dude-

Here's the right way to do without external downloads.  It looks like a lot at first, but once you have done so, it is very easy.  It works in all versions of Windows 7 to 95.  For our example, let's assume you're to compare two directories named 'A' and 'B '.

1. run cmd.exe to get a command prompt.  (In Windows 7, the powershell will not work for this, FYI.)  Then do it again, so that you have two of them opened next to each other.

2. in each window go into the directories you want to compare.  (With the help of the 'cd' command.  If you're not comfortable with that, then you should probably go with the external utilities, except if you want to learn the tricks of the command prompt.)

3. type ' dir/b > A.txt' in one window and "dir/b > B.txt' in the other."  Now you have two text files that list the contents of each directory.  The flag/b means stripped, which removes the list down to only the names of files directories.

4. move is the same folder as A.txt B.txt.

5. Type "CF A.txt B.txt".  The command "CF" means file to compare.  It will spit out a list of the differences between the two files, with an additional line of text above and below each difference, so that you know where they are.  For more options on the way in which the output is in the format, type ' fc /? "at the command prompt.  You can also pipe the differences in another file using something like ' CF A.txt B.txt > differences.txt'.

Have fun.

    Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> uncheck "Open Documents in the new tab in the same window.

    Now, reboot your system, when you open multiple PDFs that all will open in a new window so that you can easily compare.

    My only concern is the result of this sql. East - reliable? It can really be used to differentiate the two lines? I mean, the result would be the same, as I do with Java?

    Not sure what you mean by "reliable"? SQL is not some kind of generator of random result (by derogation from the use of the DBMS_RANDOM package). If you ask him if 1 + 1 = 2, then it will always give you the right answer.

  • How to identify obsolete files in Windows XP?

    My directory of Windows (XP) rose to more than 10 GB, which for me is more than 30% of my C: drive.  I need to create because I only have 1 GB of free space on C:.  Despite the defrag NTFS seems to perform badly under 20% of free space.  (Yes, my documents and program files take up a lot of space, but not nearly as much as the Windows.)

    I suspect that most of the files in my Windows directory are really outdated, but I can find no documentation MS how to identify obsolete files of Windows.  Unfortunately, KB MS searches return only the details of the specific software issues and warnings no do not delete the contents of the directories like Installer & $hf_mig$ who collectively represent 40% of the space of files in the Windows folder.

    Can someone point me to MS doc on the identification of obsolete files in Windows?

    Can someone point me to a reliable freeware that can analyze my Windows folder & identify obsolete files?

    Thanks, J

    Thank you once again.

    I moved my Documents to my another internal drive, but it was UGLY.  Fortunately, I made a backup before you start.  The Windows Move function fails if a file is locked by a process.  Supposedly gives the user the possibility of closing the lock program, he abandoned the movement rather than a new attempt.  Thus, the move is only partially complete.  The restore function moves the files back, but not all the original files are retrieved.  (Move offers no option to copy all files successfully before deleting the originals).  With backup & some file/folder comparison software, I was able to recover all the lost files (probably).

    In any case, the above is not your fault.  I just thought you should know about the potential problems of moving.  I commented to MS on moving article.  I hope that similar questions are not present in Windows 7.

    I still have 26G standing on C, all Documents & settings Windows and Program Files.  But now I have 7 free G.  Move my Documents was a good idea, just as subjects with MS Move function.

    Thank you once again.  I will mark it as answered.  John

  • How to show two files together

    I have a folder for photos and inside a folder ("fertig") for the edited images, (under the direction and named photos stored separately in the subfolder).

    How to display the contents of the two files side-by-side? ~ br, Karl

    I assume you mean you want in two separate windows, instead of the tabs that you show in your screenshot.

    There are several ways to do so.

    And here's one: open the first folder, then control - or right click the folder fertig.

    If the first option, you see "Open in a new tab", then simply press the Option key and it will change to 'open in a new window '.

    (Even, if the default is to open in a new window, press Option changes to the new tab).

    I have a new HP TS 15 W8.  I need to have two files or programs at the same time - for example a PDF from a foreign language and a word for me file to translate.  or related to the use of the project manual and a project file.   but I can do one or two others.  in the past, seems to have been fairly automatic, but now is not.  can someone explain how to do this?

    I fear that it does not really help.  If I press the Windows key it goes back on the desktop, but there is simply no way to take the file I need and its size and place it next to the project folder I wanted to relate to.

    Hello

    If you use 1 user interface modern app and 1 desktop application to open the 2 files, perform the following steps.

    1. open the desktop application.

    2. press the Windows key to display the start screen and open the user interface modern App. use the slider to turn the app on part and on the other screen (move the cursor to the top of the screen and drag the app to share and sides of the screen).

    3. press Ctrl + Windows key + Tab to display the Switcher App click on the desktop application. This application will Snap to the opposite side of the screen.

  • How to compare two different interfaces without creating different versions?

    I know that if we create two different versions of the same interface, so we can compare the two versions. But is it possible to compare two similar interfaces to each other, created in different folders?

    Hi 2782749,

    Not sure if it works with 11g, but possible in 12 c. In the main menu, click on ODI-> browser Version.

    Click on both interfaces, and then click Compare in the upper right corner of the browser Version.

    You can also export and a tool of comparison on the xml files to highlight the differences. The result will be about the same.

    Comparison tools:

    Windows: Compare plugin for Notepad ++

    UNIX: diff

    It will be useful.
