I do a lot of file comparisons (source, logs etc.) and need to mask certain sections e.g. dates / times / line numbers which cause every line to be different.
Beyond Compare allows you to pre-process the files but then you have to write pieces of code to do this.
Is there a GUI type tool that allows you to mask sections of the file via a filter e.g. skip columns 10 – 16, skip data between word x and word y etc.?
Check out WinMerge. It has the ability to filter lines based on regular expressions.
