Hi Burkhard,

Thanks for the reply.
I have gone through the link you have shared but what I am looking out is
somewhat different and is as follows:
1. I want to merge 2 files and auto resolve the conflict without any
manunal intervention.
Lets say I will provide the input as:- In Conflict situation it should
always pick it up from File A and override.
Is it possible without manual intervention.
I guess this is possible by Manual intervention i.e. by choosing the
option of selecting "Choose A from everywhere" - but how to achieve this
without manual intervention.
It means how do I default or set the "Choose A from everywhere" option
before hand.

2. In the above example how do I set this option when calling KDiff3 from
command prompt.
For eg:
I am using a batch file and using the following command
call "C:\Program Files\kdiff3\kdiff3.exe" "C:\Users\xx\Documents\Rnd
Learning\n1.txt" "C:\Users\xx\Documents\Rnd Learning\n2.txt"
-o "C:\Users\xx\Documents\Rnd Learning\n3.txt"
How do I get the merge output in n3.txt which will have the merge product
of n1.txt and n2.txt?
How do I set the option of "Choose A from everywhere" through the command
prompt i.e What should I add in the above command line to achieve the
"Choose A from everywhere" option.
Awaiting your reply.

Regards,
Prashant
