Compare Configuration Files of Text Format

Compare file MetaBot offers the following functionality: Simply put this bot is used for comparing configuration files of text format. Configuration files mostly have key and value pairs, separated by a separator. Most of the file comparison utilities can only compare line to line, which means even if the same configuration exists in two files but on a different line number, the files would be classified as different. This bot compares the key/value pair of one file with the key/value pair of a second file - regardless of key/value pairs being on different lines.. The bot creates an output file after comparing both the files and prints the following output: o Identical line: Key/value pair which are identical (same) in both the files o Different Values: Key/value where the value for a key is different in both the files. o First file Only: Key/value pair which only exists in the first file, not the second. o Second file Only: Key/value pair which only exists in the second file, not the first o Duplicate: It reports all the key values which are duplicated in the file This bot is especially helpful when files from different environments (such as development/UAT/Production) need to be compared. Very quickly you can compare files and report all the differences in various configuration files. In addition to comparing the files with key/value format, it can be used to compare files in plain text format as well.
