Hi.
Is there any tool made, that takes as input original and modified navision object files exported as txt-format, and wites into modified object file the documentation about the changes?

    This sounds like it would be a nice tool, but I think this might be an impossible task.

    Reason being.. If you add/remove one or more lines of code in the modified object how would the program know if the lines below the change were original or not?


    (Does that make sense or is it too early in the morning for me? 8-[)

    If modif. file have lines that doesn't exist in the orig. file, then those files are added. If vice versa then deleted. Can you give me an example so i could understand the problem better?

    I'm not sure whether there is a documentation tool.. but there are free text comparison tools.. like ExamDiff http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiff.asp#download
    Open text files of both original and modified objects. you can see the modified lines as highlighted...
