Code: Select all

// Create two file paths from current file and
// invoke UC using a tool and dynamic parameter %sel%

// Define the folders where files to be compare reside:
var path1 = "fpga\\mod_1\\rtl\\";
var path2 = "asic\\mod_1\\rtl\\"

// Define preferred UC command line switches:
var cmdSw = "-t -i";

// Get current file and path
var currentFilepath = UltraEdit.activeDocument.path;

// Get file index so we can restore the active tab
var restoreFileIx = getActiveDocumentIndex();

// Simple extraction of filename (assume windows path):
var fileName = currentFilepath.substr(currentFilepath.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1);

// Now open a new temp file and write UC command line input for %sel%
UltraEdit.newFile();

// Write command line switches:
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(cmdSw);

// Write first file in quotes
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(" \""+path1+fileName+"\"");

// Write second file in quotes
UltraEdit.activeDocument.write(" \""+path2+fileName+"\"");

// Now select the whole line to make it available for %sel%
UltraEdit.activeDocument.gotoLineSelect(1,1);

// Then run the tool invoking UC
// The command line of the tool should look something like:
// start uc %sel%
// Configure as DOS command because we use "start" so we will not wait for UC.
// UC must be in the DOS PATH
// Uncheck options: Save active file, capture output.
UltraEdit.runTool("UC");

// Close the temp file without saving
UltraEdit.closeFile(UltraEdit.activeDocument.path,2);

// Restore original file as active
UltraEdit.document[restoreFileIx].setActive();

// Helper function to find the tab index of the active document 
function getActiveDocumentIndex() {
	var tabindex = -1; /* start value */

	for (i = 0; i < UltraEdit.document.length; i++)
	{
		if (UltraEdit.activeDocument.path==UltraEdit.document[i].path) {
			tabindex = i;
			break;
