Specify file type for comparison manually Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET allows you to manually specify the file type for each input using LoadOptions.
Explicitly set input FileType when the extension is ambiguous or missing.
import groupdocs.comparison as gc
source_path = "source.docx"
target_path = "target.docx"
result_path = "result.docx"
# Create load options and set the file type
load_options = gc.LoadOptions()
load_options.file_type = gc.FileType.DOCX
with gc.Comparer(source_path, load_options) as comparer:
comparer.add(target_path, load_options)
comparer.compare(result_path)
🔹 Use case: Process files with incorrect or missing extensions by forcing the correct type.
