A simple way to set up automatic line wrapping with Beyond Compare

When using Beyond Compare to compare files, if the file content is long, line breaks will affect the clarity of the comparison. PHP editor Xinyi introduces you to a simple method that can automatically set line breaks to make comparison easier. The following details will guide you on how to operate, help you solve the line wrapping problem and improve comparison efficiency.

In fact, Beyond Compare does not support automatic line wrapping. In the new version Beyond Compare 4, the characters in each line of the file can be limited to achieve the purpose of automatic line wrapping for easy modification.

You can follow the steps below: Click: Tools (T) in the menu bar, then select: File Format (F) in the pop-up list; click the [Convert] tab on the right side of the pop-up box Find the words 'Character limit per line', modify the previous value (the default is 4096), and save it. Generally, it can be set to 80 to 90 or more.

Of course, in Beyond Compare, you can also consider other ways to slightly improve it. The solution is as follows:

Option 1

Temporarily switch to up and down layout. Select [Top-Bottom Layout] under the [View] menu, and then the comparison layout becomes a top-down arrangement.

Option 2

Temporarily reduce the font size. Select [Options] under the [Tools] menu, select [Color, Font] on the left side of the pop-up dialog box, click [Editor Font] under the [File View] tab on the right, and reduce the font size in the pop-up font dialog box.

Option 3

Enlarge one pane as needed (you can set a shortcut key). Place the mouse on the middle dividing bar. When the mouse turns into vertical parallel bars, drag the mouse left and right to enlarge the pane on one side.

Option 4

Enlarge the entire window. When there is not a lot of content, we can click Maximize in the upper right corner to maximize the entire window so that it fills the computer screen for easier viewing.

Tip: The details bar below is also very useful (can be set to [Alignment]). Select [Alignment Details] under the [View] menu so that the text details displayed below can be aligned so that you can see what letters are missing.
