-I Option (Command Line)
Indicates what factors Visual SourceSafe should ignore when comparing two files. The following table lists ways to use the -I option.
- -I
Ignores selected comparison factors.
- -I-
Ignores all and tells the command not to ask for input under any circumstances.
- -I-Y
Answers Yes to all Yes or No questions.
- -I-N
Answers No to all Yes or No questions.
- -IC
Ignores case, for example, the upper-case letter A is considered the same as the lower-case letter a.
- -IE
Ignores end-of-line characters and report any other difference as a change. Every line is not reported as a change simply because of differences due to a different operating system. -IE is the default.
- -IS
Ignores small changes. Use of this option prevents a large section of changes from looking like there are matches when there really are not.
- -IW
Ignores white space, for example, a space or a tab. Only the insertion or deletion of functional characters is reported.
Remarks
You can use this option with the -C option to avoid the comment prompt.
