Bogdan,
Here is a shell script I use for ediff and emerge:
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPTNAME=`basename $0`
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
echo "usage: $SCRIPTNAME FILE1 FILE2"
exit 1
fi
#
if [ ! -f "$1" ]
then
echo file $1 does not exist
exit 1
fi
#
if [ ! -f "$2" ]
then
echo file $2 does not exist
exit 1
fi
if [ "$SCRIPTNAME" = "ediff" ]
then
emacs --eval "(ediff-files \"$1\" \"$2\")"
elif [ "$SCRIPTNAME" = "emerge" ]
then
emacs --eval "(mlw-emerge-files-command)" $1 $2
else
echo Unknown script name: $SCRIPTNAME
exit 1
fi
exit 0
Also, here is a relevant portion of my .emacs file:
(require 'emerge)
(defun mlw-emerge-files-command ()
(let ((file-a (nth 0 command-line-args-left))
(file-b (nth 1 command-line-args-left)))
(setq command-line-args-left (nthcdr 2 command-line-args-left))
(emerge-files-internal
file-a file-b nil nil nil)))
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I'd like to automate an ediff process for a post run test analysis.
Apparently with -f command line argument you can pass only functions
without arguments.
ediff-files requires arguments and it will fail when trying to do:
$ emacs -f ediff-files "file1" "file2"
I could do: $ emacs "file1" "file2" and then issue the command M-x
ediff-buffers and followed by 2 other key strokes, but this is not much
of an automation.
Any help/ideea would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bogdan

I do this all the time:
emacs --eval '(ediff-files "file1" "file2")'

On windows, I have to sit and wait for it to process my .emacs, is
there a way to just not load it and run just ediff? I tried
runemacs -q --eval '(ediff-files "file1" "file2")'
with to actual file names in double quotes, and I get an end of file
during parsing error.

Thanks,
Jeff

I'd suggest to do it in the way, that the gods intended Emacs to be
used, namely as a server. Get gnuserv, if you haven't already and use
its gnudoit client (gnuserv has an entry in the NTEmacs FAQ).
so long, benny

Do you mean that it works without the -q option?
