General :: Comparing Multiple Of Files ?

Mar 20, 2010

I am fairly new to Linux and was needing some help on a comparing more than 2 files. I am try to come up with something that would compare at least 10+ different files to a master file and give me an output of what is missing.

Example would be: a.txt, b.txt, c.txt, d.txt compare each of them to the master.txt file, than output the missing text for each file into new file.

I came across comm and diff commands, am I looking in the right place or is there a much easier way of doing this?

General :: Differences Between Windows .txt Files (Unicode Encoding)?

Jun 7, 2011

I am only using the 128 character set defined in the original ANSI standard. But as a whole how are the files implmeneted differently. I am not concerned with the display, i.e. if a tab is displayed with 6 or 8 characters but the actual internal representation in memory

One differnce I've hear is the use of (Windows) vs. for line termination (Linux).

Programming :: Comparing Two Files ?

May 7, 2011

I have two files

Code:

we have to consider here $5 , $6 , $7 for our search

file2.txt

Code:

Here we should take only $2 for comparison. As you can most of the $2 field records has value and some do not have value.

Question:I want to take the fields $5 , $6 , $7 from file 1 and compare it with $2 field from file 2. and the rsult should be like this:

Code:

The final output will look like this

Actual file1.txt (before running the code)

Code:

FIle1.txt after running the above said condition

Code:

So the field $5 , $6 , $7 should get replaced from the matched valued of $1(file1)

I would like to ask opinion from perl experts.

I want to compare 2 files and show the differences in a text file.

For example, if i open File A an B in notepad

File A:

But I dont want it to be like that.

Ubuntu :: Comparing Multiple Files In Shell Script?

Jun 13, 2010

I've got an interesting challenge for the shell scripting wizards here. I've got a mySQL dump of three files for my amarok database with the intention of copying some files to my media server (cover art) so that I can keep the server the server and not rely on my local machine.

Step 1: Identify any cover art files on my local machine.

I did this with:

Code:
mysql -u amarok -p amarok -e "SELECT * FROM images WHERE path like '%.kde%'" > cover_art.txt
Output looks like this:

[Code]....

What I have here now is the ENTIRE album list in my collection -- and something to compare the IDs in Step 1 against. I'm going to stop here and will update the thread as I get past this stumbling block. "ID" in cover_art.txt = "image" in albums.txt... straightforward enough, right?

So the question is this: how do I create a simple shell script that will loop through the IDs in cover_art.txt (i.e. characters 0 -> 4 -- it will always be a 4 digit ID) and then search for that ID in the Albums.txt file.

I need this output:

explanation:

If the fields 3 (serie) and 4 (modello) are identical, the lines of the 2 files should be "added":

Code:

If the fields 3 (serie) and 4 (modello) are different, just print the line of both files:

Is there a way to do this without reading the (huge) files with a "while read line" loop?

General :: Comparing Resources Using Top?

Fedora 15 Alpha

1323 user 20 0 1555m 95m 31m S 13.5 4.8 4:06.87 gnome-shell
3494 user 20 0 1028m 50m 21m S 12.8 2.5 1:43.32 evolution

I just wondering what is the difference between RES, SHR, and VIRT.

1) The VIRT always seems to be higher. Is this using the paging file system. (virtual memory on the harddisk, the swap memory)

2) Is the RES memory the actual physical RAM memory?

3) Is shared memory sharing memory with other processes?

4) Just a final question. As I am running on a HP Mini 210, memory and CPU is a resource I don't have a abundence of. So if was to compare for example 2 difference browsers i.e. firefox and midora. What should I brench mark between to 2 to find what one uses less resources?

General :: Differences Between Two USB Keyboards?

Jun 24, 2011

I have a proprietary device - something like an iPad screen - which has a front panel display with touchscreen buttons that work internally as a USB keyboard. During testing/debugging I want to connect it to another keyboard via the external USB port.Any application which I open on the device by pressing some characters on the touchscreen accepts input codes from either USB keyboard. I want to limit the touchscreen USB keyboard input only to a specific set of apps.Is there a program which can help me detect which USB port or device the code is coming from? Or someway I can map one keyboard to send a different set of codes? The device is using Linux.

General :: Differences Between XFree86 And KDE?

Oct 7, 2009

My old Intrepid box got old and senile in the hardware, so I had to take it back round the shed and put her down.I buried her next to her favorite tree in the backyard. So yes, I got this new Mini ITX setup with a dual core Atom processor and 4 gigs of ram for my new computer. I'm going to use it as a media center in my living room. However Atom 1.6 ghz is no screamer so I'd like to build a system using a light weight operating environment to leave more power for running programs and playing my media.

I could install the latest version of Kubuntu again but I thought this time I'd try to get a bit deeper into Linux and educate myself. Could someone clarify the differences between XFree86, Window Manager, and a Desktop Environment (KDE/GNOME/etc)? I know it goes like Hardware -> XServer -> XFree86 -> Window Manager (I read the tutorial on linux.org). But where does KDE or a "Desktop Environment" come in? Is KDE a decked out window manager with its own programs that runs on top of XFree86 or what? Or does it totally replace XFree86?
