Compare producing differences in any line that is all blanks
I started using RTC prior to Christmas for the first time and ran across a problem. I edited a COBOL program and had the source in my personal workspace. I wanted to run a compare with the one in the production stream to make sure that I made the correct changes. When I compared my work source to the production source, the editor seemed to have added a strange character to any line that was all spaces in my personal workspace. This particular program I was working with is quite large and there are quite a few blank lines in the program, hence making the compare useless. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to prevent this from happening?

Have a look at http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-68b.htm there is an option in the preferences to ignore white spaces in eclipse compare. |
