Latexdiff Directory Help

Post by iswens »

I am trying to use latexdiff to compare 2 tex files, but am running into problems when using the command prompt to direct latex diff to my files to compare. I have installed perl and it even spits out a blank diff.tex file. I am getting the following error.

"Couldn't open file2.tex: No such file or directory at c:\program files\Miktex 2.9\scripts\latexdiff\perl\latexdiff-so.pl"

I have put my files in the c:\...latexdiff\perl folder, but it still cannot find them. My question is why isn't it finding my files to compare?

Are you putting quotation marks around the file names? Sometimes this helps with file names with spaces in them.
