Comments:
0. Even started from command line Compare Suite loads options from .ini file. So, before running it one may edit it manually.
1. /report switch can be shortened to /r /type switch can be shortened to /t (e.g.
/t:std)
2. If /report is specified there MUST be either two file or two folders specified
3. If /report (or /r) is specified, no GUI will be created!
4. If no extension is specified for report name, .html is appended. If there is any other extension, it will left unchanged
5. If folder for report name is not exist, it will be created
6. "-" and "/" can be used as delimiters. I.e. -report and /report means the same
7. Letter case doesn't matter
8. Switches other than /r and /report ignored
9. Only first two paths are matter, the rest are ignored
10. Destination report files will be overwritten without confirmation
11. The order of parameters and switches doesn't matter. I.e. the following
are valid examples:
CompareSuite.exe /r:C:\some.html c:\file1.txt c:\file2.txt
CompareSuite.exe c:\file1.txt c:\file2.txt /r:C:\some.html
CompareSuite.exe c:\file1.txt /r:C:\some.html
c:\file2.txt
