Nadya,
You might want to check out Beyond Compare http://www.scootersoftware.com/index.html

It's an excellent tool that I use every day for the following tasks:

  • compare directories
  • synchronize directories
  • compare and edit files. Very handy to compare source code.
  • compare tables (using a plug-in and a VFP wrapper)

    You can download an evaluation copy and play with it. I have created some intelliSense macros and a simple wrapper that makes it easier to use with VFP. Let me know if you are interested.

    HTH
    >Thanks, seems like exactly the ticket. The only little flaw in interface, that I need to type directories (it doesn't have Browse button).
    >The other little thing, that Print doesn't have an option to select printer and layout, so files info is truncated...

    >>>I need to compare bunch of directories on drive O with same directories name on drive G. I need to find files, which are newer or don't exist and make a list of all discrepencies. I can write this program, but may be somebody has this kind of utility written, so I don't need to re-invent the wheel.

    >>If you mean you'd run it for yourself 'windiff' is a utility that's part of MS VStudio tools. If not there you could copy and compile from its source files (AFAIK you have VS). It's great in comparing dirs and files IMHO.
    >>If you need something you can touch and in pure VFP (not so pure unless you change FSO calls to adir:) I can post a routine that gets Folder, FileName, Size, Acces, Modify, Createtimes to a cursor (GetTree(cFolder[,lIncludeFiles])). Actually was posted before so you can search :)
