Tony Koch Posted September 4, 2010 at 03:52 PM Posted September 4, 2010 at 03:52 PM Does anyone know of a tool that would permit merging customized files with updated versions from x-plane? (I have added fixes, ILSs, etc., for local airports not considered worthy of inclusion in the "master" files). Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Krushen 1135174 Posted September 4, 2010 at 05:55 PM Posted September 4, 2010 at 05:55 PM Does anyone know of a tool that would permit merging customized files with updated versions from x-plane? (I have added fixes, ILSs, etc., for local airports not considered worthy of inclusion in the "master" files). Thanks. They're just text files, so if you already have lines of the right format, a simple script to do search and replace wouldn't be too hard to put together. I wonder if just sticking the lines at the end of the file would override them in memory as the file is read, actually. Try that? Would be a pretty easy system—just keep the original and the overrides in separate files, and cat the overrides onto the end of the original, putting the result in a third file to merge them.

Wade Williams 877539 Posted September 4, 2010 at 09:22 PM Posted September 4, 2010 at 09:22 PM You need a visual diff tool. On the Mac use FileMerge (I think only installed if you install Xcode). On Windows use WinMerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Koch Posted September 11, 2010 at 04:42 PM Author Posted September 11, 2010 at 04:42 PM Thanks for the suggestions. Not a Mac developer but WinMerge is an option. Turns out additions to the fix file are concatenated at the bottom and easy to find. Not so easy in the nav file. Sending data to Robin. What a great service he provides!
