That is an interesting task: a folder comparison with ignoring file extension. I don't think that this can be done with UltraCompare.

However, if you are interested only in list of files being unique in PDF and TXT folder ignoring file extension, you could do following:

• Create a batch file with following content:

  Code: Select all

  @echo off
  rem Set folder for listing file names without extension to directory passed as
  rem first parameter to this batch file or use the current working directory.
  if "%~1"=="" ( set "Folder=%CD%" ) else ( set "Folder=%~1" )
  rem Output name of each non hidden file in this folder.
  for %%F in ( "%Folder%\*" ) do echo %%~nF
  set "Folder="

• Run this batch file with command line: BatchFileName.bat "PDF Folder Path" >"%TEMP%\FilesListPDF.txt"
• Run this batch file with command line: BatchFileName.bat "TXT Folder Path" >"%TEMP%\FilesListTXT.txt"
• Compare with UltraCompare the two text files "%TEMP%\FilesListPDF.txt" and "%TEMP%\FilesListTXT.txt" and look on the different lines.
• Delete the two text files with command line: del "%TEMP%\FilesList*.txt"

It would be of course possible to write a batch file which directly outputs the list of unique files in the two folders.

Well, this depends on a feature request email to IDM support by you and other UC users.
