I am trying to give arguments to Spreadsheet Compare App through command line.
I also want result of comparison in excel file as output.
Is there any way of doing this? Is there any possibility of doing this through VBS?


What I have tried:

I have searched on web and found below code: However this code is not giving any output file. It is showing result in Spreadsheet compare tool itself. Another drwaback is that it is picking up any first two files of whatever format (for eg.pdf) or any other and comparing it.

@ECHO OFF
@ECHO Comparing two files:
@ECHO 1: %1
@ECHO 2: %2

dir %1 /B /S > temp.txt
dir %2 /B /S >> temp.txt

"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office Tools\Spreadsheet Compare.lnk" "temp.txt"

pause

Change your dir commands so they list only Excel files.

How to do that?

dir %1/*.xlsx /B /S > temp.txt
dir %2/*.xlsx /B /S >> temp.txt

If you type "dir /?" at a command prompt you can see all the options.

It is not working ... I have mentioned this code in "What I have tried:" section.
