(1) Compare paragraphs with Compare Suite

Need to compare htm file. If Compare Suite can compare htm web-pages so I can learn what changes where made.

The problem is that I don’t want to know about minor changes, I mean changes of web-page tags layout and other. If the picture was moved a little, then I don’t want to know about this.

But when comparing .htm file I want to know what is image alt tag. I also need some other important information about compared htm, such as document title, keywords and description meta tags.

Please, let me know if your compare htm function of Compare Suite can help.

Nick, you need two functions in this case.

First, you need to compare two web page htm files. Compare Suite do htm comparison exactly as you need it. You will have information from htm page meta tags (description, title, keywords), also, you will page text and image comments while you do compare htm pages.

Second. I'd glad you already know about "by keywords" compare feature. Now, I will let you know about feature that lets' manage with large files, it doesn't matter if it's htm or doc or pdf.

You should select two text blocks you want to compare. Select the block in the left htm file and in the right htm page. Then right click on the selection and select "Compare selected" command.

Compare Suite will separately this paragraph from the whole file and will let to compare it.

Note: you can still apply different compare methods, including "by keywords" or "word by word".

Thank you for this question!

(2) Using "By keywords" and "My interests" functions of Compare Suite

Paul asked

If Compare Suite can compare two text files and tell me which file have how many of the keywords. I mean if I have two files then I want to know if the first contains "text" keywords and the second contains "compare" keywords.

And another question - if I need to compare text file and to get know if this file have some specific keywords, meaning the ability to know about this keyword without necessity to scan all found keywords.

Scott Moran

Paul, the "by keywords" feature of CS is right for you. It allows to compare text (and other files), so you will be able to have keywords information. Read more about using this feature: Using by-keywords feature example: http://www.comparesuite.com/features/compare-by-keywords-example.htm

It was a very good answer to the "keywords" part of your question and for this need, I think you'll find useful an "Keywords of interest" option of Compare Suite.

You can specify "my interests", so Compare Suite will show you if the document belongs to one of your groups of interest.
