Folder comparsion

I have two folders with sub folders. One folder is the base folder, and the other one is the local folder. In these folders and subfolders consist identical as well as non identical files.

I want compare these folders and report the result in some other file. This report must consist of:

  1. List of all identical files
  2. List of all modified files
  3. List of any missing file or folder
  4. List of all non identical file

Is there a tool, batch script or utility for this?

I have tried WinMerge, but it's not the solution.

You can use WinDiff, a graphical file-comparison program.

BeyondCompare is what you're looking for. It will give you all those reports in a matter of clicks.

UPDATE

As a follow up to your comment, you can also use this approach, which is as free as in beer, and does everything via command line.

Install a tool called diff tools, and you'll be able to do something like:

diff.exe On the command line.

Araxis Merge is very good for this. I comes in a 64 bit version as well.

I have to recommend Beyond Compare for this, it's an excellent folder and file comparison tool. You can integrate it into Visual Studio as well for the file comaprison for a much better merging experience as well.
