Hi!

 

I have compared 2 sets of data points, each with 600k points. I have compared the 2 in notepad with the compare plugin. How can I clear the similar ones and keep the dissmilar ones? Right now I am just deleting the similar ones, one by one, but it is taking too long. Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

Thanks! :)

Hello Shawng88!

 

In an attempt to understand the problem, I went ahead and downloaded Notepad++ to see what you were seeing.  Having tested the Compare function, I see that there is no great way to eliminate the differences, only to highlight them.  However, research lead me to the following application:

With this, I was able to take 2 similar files, filter only the similarities, delete those, and save only the differences in the files.  I was quite impressed.

 

I hope this helps! :)
