How to diff two files in NAnt


How can I diff 2 text files using NAnt to produce a file containing the differences?


Solution

  • I suggest you to use <exec> task and call cmd with fc command that compares files. It will look something like that

    <exec program="cmd.exe" commandline="/C fc file1 file2" />
    

    You can see fc manpage here
