![]() ![]() Also, the UTF-8 Text file ruleset should be matched due to the 'utf' extension on the files The files should now be correctly displayed. These files have the UTF-8 BOM at the beggining of the file. Next run DiffMerge against the umlaut-bom-1.utf and umlaut-bom-2.utf files. The files should now be displayed with the correct character encoding showing the umlauts. Select "Unicode 8 bit (UTF-8)" and click OK. DiffMerge matches the extension on 'txt', and should prompt you for the character encoding. ![]() These files have no BOM, but do contain umlauts. Now, try DiffMerge against umlaut-1.txt and umlaut-2.txt. And also change the Fallback Character Encoding option to be "Ask for Each File", and Click OKģ) Close the options dialog, and DiffMerge Back on the "Character Encodings" property, verify the "Search for Unicode BOM" is checked. If you check the "Name", you will see extensions of "utf" or "utf8" will be used. Click OK.Ģ) Next click on and edit the UTF-8 Text Files ruleset. Leave the "Search for Unicode BOM" checked, and change the Fallback Character Encoding option to be "Ask for Each File". If you click on the "Name" properties you should be able to see, when DiffMerge opens files ending in "txt" or "text", this ruleset will be used. On the Custom Ruleset below, edit the "Text Files" Ruleset. For these examples, please configure the following:ġ) In the Options/Preferences, go to Rulesets. What is the extension of the files you are comparing? Do those extensions match the ruleset's file suffixes? When the files are loaded, if you click on the "Change Ruleset" menu item, does the Choose Ruleset dialog show you the ruleset that should match those files?įor those interested in Ruleset configurations, I'm providing some sample files that can be downloaded/extracted for testing. However, in the case BOMs are not there, the ruleset matching depends on the file's extension. The easiest thing to do is to ensure your files contain the correctly encoded byte order marks (BOM) at the beginning of the file, so DiffMerge can automatically detect the character encoding. ![]()
