/merge Performs an automatic three-way merge to the common ancestor file after comparing three files./nowait Prevents compare from waiting for a comparison to be closed./wait Wait for user to close the compared files in Merge before exiting.
The command-line arguments are described below. Once the changes have been merged into the common ancestor file, right click the middle file panel and choose Save or Save As… to save the merged file. This is why the common ancestor file should be displayed in the middle file panel. When merging three files, it is easiest to merge changes from the left and right files into the middle file. As with two-way comparisons, a further optional argument can be specified to set the default filename name used if a file is saved. This can be specified with the /aN command-line option. It is important that the common ancestor or base file (if any) is displayed in the middle file panel. This third argument is used as the default save filename if you save changes to either of the files in the file comparison window (for example, by choosing Save or Save As… from the context menu that appears when a file panel is right-clicked).įor three-way comparisons, three filename arguments should be specified. An optional third filename argument can also be specified. These are the files that will be displayed within the file comparison window. …] įor two-way comparisons, two filename arguments should be specified.
#ARAXIS MERGE VS BEYOND COMPARE 3 WINDOWS#
The Windows Command Prompt will always wait for this command to exit before returning control. As this behaviour is sometimes unhelpful, Merge is supplied with a console subsystem version of Compare.exe, called ConsoleCompare.exe. Consequently, even if you use the /wait command-line argument (see Usage, below) to Compare.exe in a Windows Command Prompt, control will be returned to the prompt as soon as the command is launched, even though Compare.exe is still running and waiting for Merge to be closed. The Windows Command Prompt doesn’t wait for Windows subsystem applications such as this to complete before returning. ConsoleCompare command-line utilityĬompare.exe is a Windows subsystem (that is, graphical) application, because it is typically used to launch Merge from other Windows subsystem applications. This utility program uses the Merge Automation API to launch file comparisons within a new or existing instance of Merge. The primary (and recommended) way to use Merge from the command-line is to use the Compare command-line utility ( Compare.exe). The Automation API enables even greater control over Merge. Merge provides several command-line tools that enable you to launch Merge from a variety of applications.
