Checking against text from a file

climbnc

Hi All,

I have a file i want to read.  This file consists of lines like

RUN DRC YES

RUN LVS YES

POWER NAMES VCC VCCA

i have some outputs of Buttons and stringFields from a GUI that i set to a string like

setPowerNames = sprintf(str "POWER NAMES %s" powerStringField~>value)

if(drcBooleanButton = t

then

setDrcSwitch = "RUN DRC YES"

else

setDRCSwitch = "RUN DRC NO"

)

I want to then compare all the lines from the file against setPowerNames,setDrcSwitch, etc.  Then i would ouput the lines that are different from the file to an output file(compare.results.text)

What would be the most efficient way to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help.
