-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.
