BBTranslationBundle::compareBundles

Description

In BBj 9.0 and higher, this method compares two translation bundles of the same name but in two different directories.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
void	compareBundles(string bundleName, string bundleDir1, string bundleDir2, boolean displayToConsole)

Parameters

Variable	Description
bundleName	Specifies the name of the bundles to compare.
bundleDir1	Specifies the directory of where the first bundle to compare resides.
bundleDir2	Specifies the directory of where the second bundle to compare resides.
displayToConsole	TRUE (1) if the results are to be displayed to the BBj console, otherwise FALSE (0).

Return Value

None.

Remarks

Compares the passed translation bundles given a bundle name, bundle directories, and whether to display the results to the console. New default keys and modified default key values will be written to the bundleDir1 + bundle name + _update.properties file. This method can be used to determine what has changed between two versions of the same bundle.
