Comparing two xml files in pl/sql

What is the best way to compare two 'complex' xml structures and return the difference using a plsql procedure/function. Example:
FUNCTION f_equals(XMLTYPE actualxml, XMLTYPE expectedxml) RETURN VARCHAR2
this should return 'EQUAL' if they are equal and the actual node with value if different..
Can somebody throw some ideas please?

The solution would depend on what you are trying to achieve, is it node to node comparison? overall file comparison? If there is any difference in either of the aforementioned approach, do what with the result?

Compare two XML files: Analysis and Design

Hi, Java/XML/JDOM experts,
I realised that an open source of Java utility to compare two XML is still missing. So I would like to write one for my JDOM excises.
I plan to do it in three steps:
1.Define the problem domain.
2.Design the classes to be developed.
3.Coding
Below is the problem domain. Would you review it and tell me if it is fine?
Best regards,
AG
Compare two XML files
Schema assumption:
The xml files used for the comparison must have the same schema.
Definition:
1. Two elements of simple type are said equal if their name and value are identical.
2. Two elements of complex type are said comparable if their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal if they are comparable and their children elements are identical.

Hi,
Thanks for reviewing my idea.
The xml files used for the comparison must have the
same schema.Including not having a schema at all? And if they do
have a schema, must they be valid according to the
schema?I will only support schema based xml files. To include a schema is a good practice. So I will valid them agaisnt schema (is this possible with JDOM? I am testing ...)

2. Two elements of complex type are said comparableif
their name, attributes are identical.
3. Two elements of complex type are said equal ifthey
are comparable and their children elements are
identical.Do you plan to require child elements to appear in the
same order for the two documents to be equal? (Note
that XML specifically says that the order of
attributes is not significant.)No. The order is not significant as I use the attributes as the keys to find comparable element counterpart.
Here is the sample code already tested. Any comments are welcome!
The next step is to define the "delta xml schema" that will guide me to store the comparasion results. Do you have any suggestions?
Regards.
AG
public static boolean comparable(Element element1, Element element2)
     boolean returnValue=false;
     if (element1.getName()!=element2.getName()) {
          return returnValue;
} else {
          returnValue=true;
                    System.out.println ("place 2");
     List attributeList=element1.getAttributes();
     Iterator attributeIterator=attributeList.iterator();
     Attribute workingAttribute=null;
     while (attributeIterator.hasNext()) {
                         if (!workingAttribute.getValue().equals(
                         element2.getAttribute(workingAttribute.getName(), workingAttribute.getNamespace()).getValue()))
                              returnValue=false;
                              break;

hi,

can u tell me,what is the ultimate result of this merging.
and can u tell the stepts to acheive this..
Thanks..a) write files down to temporary directory by using text_io
b) call an external program you installed on the client like winmerge, windiff or about 100000 other programs out ther that can show you the differences of two files
this programs you pass the two files you wrote to disk at step a

Compare 2 xml file in background

Hello,
I want to compare two XML files in background containing data like following:
<ReportingDocument>
        <CompanyCode>1000</CompanyCode>
        <TransactionDate>2000-01-05</TransactionDate>
        <InvoiceProperties>
            <SupplierInvoiceNumber>000000162000VSTX</SupplierInvoiceNumber>
            <InvoiceNumber>0100000000</InvoiceNumber>
         </InvoiceProperties>
</ReportingDocument>
As result, i have to receive automatically Email in my outlook inbox like something:
Test is ok.
OR
Test is not ok, differences in invoiceNumber,.....
can some one help me ?
Regards,
Ouail.

Ouail,
1) Read XML file using open dataset (because it's in background)
2) Download files to program memory
3) Get the invoice number (example, next 10 chars after <InvoiceNumber>... or between <InvoiceNumber> and </InvoiceNumber> from these 2 files
4) Check if invoice number isn't char (in case that when initial the next characters are the closing tag).
5) Compare both invoice values from xml files
6) Build the text email with the compare detail. "...test is not ok... / .... Teste is ok...."

Comparision of two xml files

Hi all,
Could anybody tell me how to compare two xml files and find the details that differ?
If possible, can you get me the code?

You can simply compare the entire contents of the strings if you like, although simple whitespace differences (spaces, tabs, carriage returns, etc.) would result in an evaluation that the two are different (probably not what you want). You can parse them in DOM or SAX, and the minute an element fails, return false. Look up a tutorial on either DOM or SAX for ideas. Or you could iterate through the string and simply discard whitespace on your own.
It could potentially be more complicated then that. Does the ordering of elements matter? Meaning if I have elements a, b, c in document one but b, c, a in the other one (but a, b, c are identical otherwise) does that mean a different document? You really do not have enough requirements to go on. The above will likely work for you, and no, I will not write your code for you.

Comparing nodes in two xml files

I need help with a flex app i am making. My skill level in flex is pretty much basic, so some of the questions may seem easy but they r not to me
I need an application that will load two external xml files and compare nodes. The xml files are pretty much identical except for the values ofcourse. After that i need to write this data to a new xml file which my flex app will generate. Can anyone plz give me an example code which i can later modify for my own application. You can give me any type of an example with the simplest xml files.
Thank you in advance

"for in" and "for each in" statements can be used to iterate through the nodes. If the two xml files are of same structure , you can easily compare the node attributes. Here is the link to the livedocs page for looping through xml nodes

How to compare two fmx files

Hi,
Is it possible to compare two fmx files , there are few differences between two fmx files , i wanted to know what are the differences.............Thanks.Bcj

by converting fmb files into xml or text and then using gvimdiff (or similar) on unix or windows will show you the differences. For fmx files, as pointed earlier - you can only see that if they are different or not. On unix you can use strings command (for fmx files) and pipe it to a text file and then do a diff on the files, but that will not be too helpful either.

XML Files may be compared with the oracle.xml.differ.XMLDiff class.
A file consisting of the differences in the xml files gets generated. An XSLT to convert one file to the other also gets generated.

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]);
out.println();
sno++;
} catch (Exception exception)
out.write(sno + " \t" + lineNo1 + " \t\t" + tokens[i] + "\t\t\t\t" + "");
out.println();
Thanks & Regards

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.

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...
