Is there a way through RTC CLI to see number of lines changed in a file present in a component on 2 streams. Basically I want to compare the file on  streams and list the number of changed lines through RTC CLI just the way we have in RTC Eclipse client.

Hi,

You can use "scm diff" command to compare the file of streams. Please see http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m1/topic/com.ibm.team.scm.doc/topics/diff.html

When selecting a file, the "scm diff" can only use the version of the file on disk as the after state, so you need to create a workspace which has same version as one of the stream and load the file to a local sandbox, then use command:

scm diff file -S cp <local-path-of-the-file> stream <2nd-stream-name>

Regards,

Lily

Thanks Lily for your answer. The command gives the output but we also need to append  -d <local sandbox shared location> else it won't work. Actually the command gives the output but I was expecting it would only result in line different on  streams but what it does is gives you the whole output with a + and - sign. But it still helps. Helps to identify where the line got changed.

Yes, I agree the command can not give you a direct answer. You may need to do some scripting to get the line changed information.
