Terse export converter and config compare

RouterOS Useful user articles

A few days ago I wanted to compare a posted on the forum configuration to a default one.
I already made a small spreadsheet that is useful to compare two configurations side by side that allows inserting or removing cells to "align" the two configurations (I am also attaching it).

I found (BTW thanks @tangent :smile: ) the default configuration of the same device on the nice tangentsoft repository:
https://tangentsoft.com/mikrotik/dir/defconf

The problem being that the configuration was a "terse" export (very handy for applying/re-applying it on terminal but hard to read) so I put together another small spreadsheet capable (hopefully) of converting from "terse" to "single line", this latter being much more readable.

Usage of both should be self-explaining.

Have fun.

I happened to come across a configuration that was not compatible with terse_to_sl because of a warning about a not active interface and scripts in the export.

So in an attempt to better it and make it more compatible, I actually managed to also simplify it a little bit, now the input "terse" configuration and the "translated to single line" columns are side by side on the same sheet.
