Understanding the SoftBench File Compare

Window

You can access the SoftBench File Compare window from the SoftBench main window using: "File: Compare…", or by selecting the ﬁle Compare icon from the tool bar. If ﬁles are selected, they are provided as arguments to File Compare, allowing you to specify ﬁles to compare before the tool starts. Otherwise you may enter the ﬁle names directly into the tool. The SoftBench File Compare window looks like this:

Figure 11-1 SoftBench File Compare Window

Understanding the Menu Bar

The menu bar at the top of the application window consists of the menu items "File", "Options", "Custom", and "Help". Refer to SoftBench Online Help for detailed descriptions of these menu items.

Understanding the "Working Directory" Input Box

The "Path" input box displays the current working directory.
