Trying to remove redundant lines from compare

Question

Here are a couple of lines on my compare

                           Cycle Date - 03/22/2022
                           Cycle Date - 03/23/2022


Policy Number : 9999999999                              Produced on 03/23/2022
Policy Number : 9999999999                              Produced on 03/22/2022

I do not want these lines to show when I click on Diffs

I tried these in Rules, Unimportant Data

^\s*Cycle Date - \d{2}+/\d{2}+/\d{4}
^*\sProduced on \d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}

It's not easy to get the right combinations or whether it can be done. Not sure if it needs to be added in the Grammar section

NOTE - I have Everything Else box checked on Grammar Elements that are important to the comparison

Answer 1

You have two problems with the regular expressions.

^\s*Cycle Date - \d{2}+/\d{2}+/\d{4}

With \d{2} you catch two digits, so there is no need of a +

Try:

^\s*Cycle Date - \d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}

In (I guess the *\s should be a `\s*)

^\s*Produced on \d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}

you select for a line (^ = start of line) with leading spaces, then the Produced by.... But the line starts with Policy.

If you remove the ^,

\sProduced on \d{2}/\d{2}/\d{4}

then you get what you want:
