Is there a way to specify to ignore specific text? For example I have web files that are often the same execpt for the difference in file paths - local vs. remote paths. So in one file I will have:
http://localhost/mysite.com/index.php
and in the other,
http://www.mysite.com/index.php
Can I specify to ignore any of these strings, and if so, how do I do that?
Using Beyond Compare 3 Pro you can set up a replacement that will ignore changes of one string to a specific other one.
http://localhost/mysite.com/
in the Text to find edit and http://www.mysite.com/
in the Replace with edit.You can also right click on differences and use the Replacement command to automate some of the above steps. It tries to pre-fill in what the replacement should be, but doesn't always get it right.
