how to view MD5 value of attachment in CoCo
is there any way to view the MD5 of an attached (text) file within the CoCo browser ?
Forum Discussion
Unfortunately, the CoCo browser does not have the ability to view the MD5 hash of an attached text file. However, you can use third-party tools or programs to calculate the MD5 hash of a file. This is usually done using the command line or specialized programs available for download from the Internet.
is there an enhancement planned for the next version of CoCo ?
the issue is many of the files dropped into our CoCo reviews get deployed on the mainframe. There is no easier way to check for document changes than via MD5 hash. In the meantime, we're forced to follow something like the following steps:
- download file from mainframe => copy1
- download file from CoCo => copy2
- use beyond compare (or similar) to compare copy1 with copy2
