MultiCompareWith: Support comparing multiple documents with track changes
Compare words documents - Compare source document with two target documents.
// Create list of targets documents
List<IComparisonDocument> ListOfTargetDocuments = new ArrayList<IComparisonDocument>();
// Open documents
ComparisonDocument source = new ComparisonDocument(sourcePath);
ComparisonDocument target1 = new ComparisonDocument(target1Path);
ComparisonDocument target2 = new ComparisonDocument(target2Path);
// Add target documents in list
ListOfTargetDocuments.add(target1);
ListOfTargetDocuments.add(target2);
// Call method MultiCompareWith.
IWordsCompareResult result = source.multiCompareWith(ListOfTargetDocuments, new WordsComparisonSettings());
Compare source document with three target documents.
// Create list of targets documents
List<IComparisonDocument> ListOfTargetDocuments = new ArrayList<IComparisonDocument>();
// Open documents
ComparisonDocument source = new ComparisonDocument(sourcePath);
ComparisonDocument target1 = new ComparisonDocument(target1Path);
ComparisonDocument target2 = new ComparisonDocument(target2Path);
ComparisonDocument target3 = new ComparisonDocument(target3Path);
// Add target documents in list
ListOfTargetDocuments.add(target1);
ListOfTargetDocuments.add(target2);
ListOfTargetDocuments.add(target3);
// Call method MultiCompareWith.
IWordsCompareResult result = source.multiCompareWith(ListOfTargetDocuments, new WordsComparisonSettings());
