    Batch Compare Documents

    Hi!

    I would really like some information about how the "Match Filter" feature can be used. Select Advanced in in the Batch Compare Documents dialogue to see this feature. Unfortunately, the manual does not specify how to use this feature. The manual specifies the character wildcards, but not what the meaning of the filter is. Does it match the part of filename to be ignored? Or the part of the filename to use? Or something else?

    Can you point me in the right direction?

    regards Jon Brewer

    Jon, the "Match Filter" is where you would use those Wildcards. For example, if you select the Match by: File Name, Page Index, the Match Field is by File Name and if you are using file names that are not as common or slightly unorthodox, the wildcards can be entered into the "Match Filter" to allow Revu to locate the correct documents and compare them correctly. (Example: A1.1,1-First Floor Plan South can be located by matching A1.1.1*)

    If you change that to Match By Page Label, than the Match Field will reflect Page Label and the Match Filter can be used to compare items by those page labels.

    I hope this helps clarify that, but feel free to reach out in the Community Chat if you still have questions. Thanks!

    Hi!

    Thanks Angela and Scott!

    What filter should I use to match these files correctly?

    file1 = "CP-004043-Prel - BOM.pdf"

    file2 = "CP-002066-Prel - BOM.pdf"

    Is it even possible? All the examples I have seen are examples where the filenames have a common prefix, but differ at the end of the file name. In my case, the files I need to match, differ at the beginning of the file name.

    (I have posted the same question in the community but have not got an answer yet.)

    regards Jon Brewer
