You can perform Cross in two distinct ways:
(1) Cross on Input and Output window text
(2)
Cross on a set of files
Let us first explain the key concept of Cross.
Suppose you have two listings:
|
|
List 1 |
List 2 |
|
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12. |
file_1
file_2
file_3
file_4
file_5
file_6
file_trip
file_8
file_9
file_a |
file_1
file_2
file_3
file_lalu
file_5
file_6
file_duba
file_7
file_8
file_batu
file_9
file_a |
Note that some files belong to List 1 only, some
to List 2 only, and some to both List 1 and List 2. In picture:
Cross will make a report where you will see a break-down
of above information.
(1)
Cross on Input and Output window text: Top
Click on Expand
 button (Ctrl+E) to open Session
toolbar. Click on Diff
and Merge  button (Alt+D)
from the Session toolbar. The
following dialog will appear where you select Cross
tab.
|
|
|
|
This is used for a set of files. We will visit this
in next section.
|
|
|
This is used to cross texts found in Input and Output
window.
This is what we will use here. |
|
|
|
Place the following text on Input
window and Output
window as shown on the left:
|
|
Input window |
Output window |
|
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

file_1
file_2
file_3
file_4
file_5
file_6
file_trip
file_8
file_9
file_a |
file_1
file_2
file_3
file_lalu
file_5
file_6
file_duba
file_7
file_8
file_batu
file_9
file_a |
Now if we hit the button from the File Diff Manager, a
report will be displayed on the Message
window as shown below.
|
This report contains 3 things:
a. List of items that were found exclusively in Input window (if any).
b. List of items that were found exclusively in Output window (if any).
c. List of items that were found in both Input
Window and Output
window (if any).
Here is the output on Message
window:
In text format:
|
Message window text: |
|
Files found exclusively in Basket-1: Input text (2)
-----------------------------------------------
file_4
file_trip
Total 2 items.
Files found exclusively in Basket-2: Output text (4)
------------------------------------------------
file_7
file_batu
file_duba
file_lalu
Total 4 items.
Files common to all selected baskets: (8)
--------------------------------------
file_1
file_2
file_3
file_5
file_6
file_8
file_9
file_a
Total 8 items.
|
Input
window text has two items that are not in Output
window. Output
window text has 4 items that are not in Input
window. And finally, there are 8 items which are both in Input and Output
window.

Cross on a set of files: Top
|
|
Suppose the current basket has the following files.
Each file contains a list of items. We would like to execute a Cross
on these four files.
Also suppose the contents of the four files
are what shown below:
|
|
|
file 1 |
file 2 |
file 3 |
file 4 |
|

Click on Expand

Select the files of interest if they are not
selected.
Click on Diff

from the Session toolbar. The
dialog on left will appear where you keep Show Delete trail
checked (optional).
Now click on Cross
listings of selected files button.
