C++ development question

[Dom Pedro II]

This is not a question about programming in C++. Is there any way with any particular C++ development software that will let me pull the majority of the SDK files from the main folder and then just take the ones I've altered from another folder? Because I've got a lot of open projects and having to copy and paste the entire folder (and sub folders) of the SDK files to change a couple of lines of code in a few files for a particular mod is taking up too much space.

If there's no way to do this, I'll just have to make do, but I thought I'd find out if there was a better way first.

Perhaps some version control software is what you need, I use Subversion with TortiseSVN overlay, its quite handy for seeing ware you've modified, tracking modifications and stuff like that. For different projects I do create alternative checkouts and the like but its not that bad when the whole SDK is only a few MB, I've got something like a dozen different SDK code bases at anyone time I swap code between, the mods I play are comparatively much much larger using about half my hard drive.

I agree with Impaler, it's nice to have a system like SVN. I typically will, on a new project, commit all the standard, unmodified source files as my first bunch, and then can always see changes from the first commit.

Another thing you can try is diff. Put the standard SDK in some folder where you know where it is, and then run a diff between that folder and the one you're working on. It should go into each directory and list the changes in any file.
