Navigation:  Project File > FileFormat

The Project file is a simple XML text file that can be edited with any standard text editor such as notepad.

When manually editing XML files be aware that the names of tags are Case-sensitive. Misspelling will cause failures.

 

Tip:

prepare your project using the Synkronizer  form, save it, then edit it to suit your needs.

 

This is the layout of the file for a project where sheets are auto matched, without any options set for any of the pairs.

You'll notice that there are no individual pairs listed inside the <Pairs> tag..

 

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>

<Synkronizer>

   <Project ID="1">

      <Settings>

         <CompareType>0</CompareType>

         <Formats>0</Formats>

         <Filters>0</Filters>

         <FilterTolerance>0</FilterTolerance>

         <FilterPattern/>

         <ReportType>0</ReportType>

      <Files>

         <Filename0>C:\Folder\SubFolder\File 1.xls</Filename0>

         <Filename1>C:\Folder\SubFolder\File 2.xls</Filename1>

      </Files>

      <Pairs>

         <MatchType>1</MatchType>

         <MatchInclude>2</MatchInclude>

      </Pairs>

   </Project>

</Synkronizer>

 

 

For a project where pairs have individual settings the file will look like this:

(MatchType will be set to 0 as soon as you set a pair option such as RangeAddr or DBKeys.)

 

The pair tags must be sequentially numbered via the ID attribute.
