How add Unimportant Text in Beyond Compare 4?

Question

I'm comparing 2 .po files. They have a lot of differences of this type:

File 1:

#: G:\theme\mytheme\user_dashboard_add.php:1377

File 2:

#: G:\theme\mytheme\user_dashboard_add.php:1100

I need ignore that lines. Lines that begin with "#: G:" as Unimportant Text.

I already add this regex in the Session Settings > Importance tab > Unimportant text:

^#: G

But Beyond Compare still shows me that lines as different.

What I'm missing?

Answer 1

The regex you listed only matches on the first few characters in the line. To make the entire line unimportant if it starts with #: G, use the regex:

^#: G.*
