Comparing two sentences

Hello all,
I have a text file in the following format it has two lines
Shop_Evaporator_Item1     Shop_EvaGap_Item1     Shop_Housing_Item1     Shop_EvaPort_Item1     
Evaporator     EvaGap     Housing     My aim is to truncate the first line in such a way that , all the items in the first line only contain the word between the first and second underscore "_" .
In short I want to make the first line like the second line, since the strings in the second line are substrings of the items in the first line.
my output should be
Evaporator     EvaGap     Housing     Evaport 
Evaporator     EvaGap     HousingThese sentences are sorted.
I guess i cannot use substring method , since i need to specify the index, I would like to do it without using the index and by using the delimiter.
Any ideas on how I should proceed.

Thank you all for the great replies. all the codes given by the brilliant responders work, but I have another issue though :( ,
if i have a larger input say if an item is like below
Shop_Evaporator_Gap_Cube_1The regex
String regex = "\\w+_(\\w+)_\\w+";returns Cube as the result and
String regex = "((?<=(^|\t))[^\t_]+_)|(_[^\t_]+(?=(\t|$)))"; returns Evaporator_Item1_1 as the result
but the desired result is Evaporator basically the first occurence of the pattern, since the interest is only on the string after the first underscore.
if my understanding is correct, i find that the regex searches for one or more occurences with the quantifier +. so it finds the occurence of the pattern at the end of the word, but not at the beginning .
I am a total newbie to java and to regex, my understanding from what i read is that i need to make these regex to search only at the beginning and not at the end or in other words the first occurence .
The code by tschodot
public class Try2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String input =
                "Shop_Evaporator_Item1_cube_1    " +
                "Shop_EvaGap_Item1_1  " +
                "Shop_Housing_Item1 " +
                "Shop_EvaPort_Item1 ";
        String regex = "\\w+_(\\w+)_\\w+";
        String output = input.replaceAll(regex, "$1");
        System.out.println(output);
}returns
cube    Item1  Housing EvaPort also i don't understand why the code doesn't work when there is not "tab" after each string. :(
could somebody please explain. :)
Thanks in advance.

  • Compare two similar objects

    Do you know about any possible Java bugs with JDK update?
    In my case, my code stopped working.
    Here is what I have. There are two similar objects, but Object 1 has key, and Object 2 (same as Object 1) has no key. I need to compare both, and if they are equal, I need Object 1 to assign key to Object 2.
    It worked before. How I can get around.
    Please help me if you can.
    Respectfully,
    Alex

    Let me change the question:
    "Can we compare two objects one with key and another one without key? How?

  • Compare two Java Objects without Comparable / Comparator

    Hi Friends,
    I would like to compare two java objects (lots o attributes) without using Comparable / Comparator.
    Any suggestion/sample code would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Sachin

    I suppose you could design another feature to compare Objects... but that would involve a design process, so asking for sample code is definitely premature. And as EJP says, what would be the point?
    At least that's what I would answer if this was one of those stupid interview questions.

  • How can I compare two collections at the same time? (View two grid views)

    I have two collections containing some of the same images. (My Nikon D70 did not put an end-of-file on some images. I recovered them into a different collection.) Now I want to display both collections side-by-side in grid view. I will select those images in the "recovered" collection that correspond to the bad images in the "main" collection, add the ratings etc, and move just these to another collection.
    It is extremely frustrating to have to bounce back and forth between collections, remembering each image one by one and selecting it in the "recovered" collection. (The image names are not preserved in the "recovered" collection -- I have to go by what the image looks like.)
    LightRoom allows me to compare photos in the compare view. I want to compare collections in two grid views.

    CaptureTheLight,
    you have ran into a situation when you have to compare two sets of images and now you're wondering how come Lightroom doesn't have such "obviously necessary" functionality? But you have to admit it, this is not such a common situation in a photographer's workflow recovers broken files and tries to compare them against themselves. I think it's a pretty specific feature you need. Still, Lightroom has enough powerful tools for editing and sorting images.
    For example...
    You could just put them all - "main" and "recovered" - into a single collection or into the Quick Collection. Label the entire "recovered" collection with, say, red and sort by capture time. Now you'll have everything side by side, ordered chronologically. The "recovered" images will stay next to the "main" images since their capture time will be the same, and they will also stand out since they have the red label.
    Make the thumbnails bigger and set up the grid view so it tints the thumbnail cell are tinted with the label color. Now, you can go quickly through them visually checking labeled vs unlabeled.

  • How can i compare two excel files with different no. of records.

    Hi
    I am on to a small project that involves us to compare two excel files. i am able to do it but am struck up at a point. When i compare 2 different .csv files with different no. of lines i am only able to compare upto a point till when the number of lines is same in both the files.
    Eg. if source file has 8 lines and target file has 12 lines. The difference is displayed only till 8 lines and the remaining 4 lines in source lines are not shown.
    Can you help me in displaying those extra 4 lines in source file. I am attaching my code snippet below..
    while (((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) && ((strLine1 = br1.readLine())) != null)
                     String delims = "[;,\t,,,|]";
                    String[] tokens = strLine.split(delims);
                    String[] tokens1 = strLine1.split(delims);
                   if (tokens.length > tokens1.length)
                    for (int i = 0; i < tokens.length; i++) {
                        try {
                            if (!tokens.equals(tokens1[i])) {
    System.out.println(tokens[i] + "<----->" + tokens1[i]);
    out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + tokens1[i]);

    A CSV file is not an Excel file.
    But apart from that your logic makes no sense.
    If the 2 files are of different sizes the files are different by definition, so further comparison isn't needed, you're done.
    If you want to compare individual records, you need to compare all records from one file with all records from the other, unless the order of records is important in which case your current system might work.
    That system however is overly complicated for comparing CSV files.
    As you assume a single record per line, and if one can assume those records to have identical layout (so no leading or trailing whitespace in or between columns in one file that's not in the other) comparing records is simply a matter of comparing the entire lines.

  • How to compare two excel reports and find the difference in BI Publisher

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that needs to compare two excel reports in XML Publisher 5.6.2. or BI publisher 10.1.3.4
    If anybody has an idea about this pls help us.
    Thanks,

    Since our customer wants to have this comparison only with BI reports....here is the scenario how the comparison should be..
    Now,we have a parameters called Customer name and version id. Version id list will be refreshed based on the customer selection.
    User can generate the report based on the selected customer name and version id. These data are fetch from the oracle database and we are using Data Template in the BI Publisher.
    Now the requirement is customer wants to compare two version id data. for example, v1.2 and v1.3
    Now they wanna to see both the reports while generating in the same work sheet, like, v1.2report should display in the left side and the v1.3report has to display in the right hand side of the same work sheet.
    Now...If there is any addition happened in v1.3 report,then that cell/data should display as a green color in that report.
    If any deletion happened in v1.3report then that should be in the red color.
    If any modification happened in v1.3 then that should be in the yellow color.
    If there is no difference then that should display as it is.
    the thing is that, the both the reports (v1.2 and v1.3)should display side by side in the same worksheet with the format and everything........only the difference should be highlighted.
    Template is same for both the reports..
    To display the data for both versions i think i can generate the template side by side of both in the same worksheet.
    Now, My question is how to find the difference of data in the RTF Template for both the versions
    Can anybody assist me?
    Thanks,

  • Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

    Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
    If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
    Any kind of help will be greatly.

    Command-line: Not possible.
    JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
    However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...
