Finding duplicates from submitted files

Background - Being PS tutor, I ask students to work on images supplied, and submit back to get them assessed. A few of them share same file, and submit as their own! Finding them visually is cumbersome, time consuming. Is there any way to find matching or duplicate files, coming from different sources? Thanks to all in advance!

Much depends upon budget, the number of students in the class and their ability. My classes were limited to 15 and if I had the problem (I didn't, thank goodness) I would consider a separately watermarked copy of the file for each..perhaps the first five letters of the student's last name. That, while it may be possible to alter, would require more effort than it is worth. Working with watermarked images is the norm when using many of the current Photoshop books in which access to images is provided so that the reader may replicate the examples shown in the book. (The more unusual the type face, the better.) You may save the watermark on a layer to be applied to each assigned image and then saved for the student as a jpg, so you have to create the watermark only once for each student and drag the layer to new assigned images. Good luck.

Find text from a file and set it as a variable in applescript?

I am trying to build a script that sends me updates and notifications from cex.io. Please keep on reading below, so I may guide you until the point I have trouble with.
The first simple script in this operation goes to cex.io's trading page for BTC/GHS. It records ands saves the text to a file every 4 seconds. It works great. It doesn't need to have safari refresh because the site pushes info to the browser live.
repeat
          set the webpage_content to ""
          tell application "Safari" to set the webpage_content to the text of document 1
          set theText to webpage_content
          set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:"
          set theFile to (open for access file ((a) & "CEXRaw") with write permission)
          write theText to theFile
          close access theFile
          delay 4
end repeat
And it returns this from the site to this main file every 4 seconds: (note I cut off a chunk from the bottom and the top of the file, because they are unimportant)
    GHS:
    0.05233439
    BTC:

    Today's open:
    0.02381000
    24h volume:
    73812.35539255
I now need an applescript to read that file, and return wanted values. But I'm lost on how to write it.
It needs to find the number under BTC, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under GHS, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under Last Price, and set it as a variable.
If anyone could script that really quick for me, or tell me how to do it, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Couldn't tell if you had any whitespace in the lines (i.e. is there a space before or after GHS:), so I used contains, not is. Also, if you have a line such as GHS/BTC with a colon GHS/BTC: then it will also fail (as contains "BTC:" would be true for BTC: and GHS/BTC:)
However, this will give you some guidance:
set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:CEXRaw"
set x to 0
set Names to paragraphs of (read file a)
repeat with nextLine in Names
          set x to x + 1
          if nextLine contains "BTC:" then
                    set BTC to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "GHS:" then
                    set GHS to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "Last Price:" then
                    set lastPrice to item (x + 1) of Names
          end if
end repeat

Find duplicates from different tables

I need to write a sql query to   find out in which table
holds the duplicate data.
Duplicate : AAA company should be present(mapped) only once with XXX Partner. If it is repeated then would be considered
as duplicate
Please help in writing this query
Table A
Table B
Table C
company Partners                    company Partners
company Partners
AAA        XXX                                AAA
XXX
AAA      XXX
BBB       YYY                                  BBB
YYY
BBB     YYY
AAA       XXXX (duplicate Data)
Expected o/p :
table A contains duplicate data , or Table B contains Duplicate Data ETc...

Chelseasadhu, I do not think AAA is duplicating as the partners are different XXX and XXXX.
Could you please clarify how are you finding its a duplicate value? Just the Company duplicate is your criteria?
You may try something below:
create Table TableA(Company varchar(100), Partners varchar(100))
Insert into TableA Select 'AAA','XXX'
Insert into TableA Select 'BBB','XXX'
Insert into TableA Select 'AAA','XXXX'
create Table TableB(Company varchar(100), Partners varchar(100))
Insert into TableB Select 'AAA','XXX'
Insert into TableB Select 'BBB','XXX'
--Insert into TableB Select 'BBB','XXXCC'
create Table TableC(Company varchar(100), Partners varchar(100))
Insert into TableC Select 'AAA','XXX'
Insert into TableC Select 'BBB','XXX'
Declare @DuplicateTableA int =0,@DuplicateTableB int=0,@DuplicateTableC int=0
Set @DuplicateTableA=(Select Case when exists(Select COUNT(1) From TableA Group by Company having COUNT(1)>1) then 1 else 0 end)
Set @DuplicateTableB=(Select Case when exists(Select COUNT(1) From TableB Group by Company having COUNT(1)>1) then 1 else 0 end)
Set @DuplicateTableC=(Select Case when exists(Select COUNT(1) From TableC Group by Company having COUNT(1)>1) then 1 else 0 end)
/* Once you have the existence info, its easy for you to do the display at your application layer*/
Declare @DisplayText Varchar(MAX) =''
Set @DisplayText = (Select Case when @DuplicateTableA = 1 then 'TableA contains duplicate data' else '' end)
Set @DisplayText = @DisplayText+(Select Case when Len(@DisplayText)=0 then '' else ' ' End + Case when @DuplicateTableB = 1 then 'TableB contains duplicate data' else '' end)
Set @DisplayText = @DisplayText+(Select Case when Len(@DisplayText)=0 then '' else ' ' End + Case when @DuplicateTableC = 1 then 'TableC contains duplicate data' else '' end)
Select @DisplayText
Drop table TableA,TableB,TableC

Re: Use PowerShell to Find Metadata from Photograph Files

Hi,
Just read the new blog and thought i'd try it.
I got as far as setting and calling the $picMetaData for a folder. It didn't list anything when i just has a TIF file in there but when i created a jpg version of the same file it listed the details of both. Tried deleting the jpg and back to no listing.
Apologies if i'm missing something as a Powershell lightweight
It might be worth mentioning that the original file was a georeferenced TIF but if it is relevant, it seems odd that it returned a listing when the jpeg version was present.
Apologies also for asking this on the blog - i realise i should have come here first.
Andy

Here is a version that works for one folder and produces consistent CSV files. It only enumerates the first 66 tags but that covers 99% of all tags.
You have to understand that each folder will have different metadata. Thi is determined by the folder contents. When we ask for GetDetailsOf the folder object the shell scans the files and merges all metadata into the results. If we scan
a different folder we will not likely find data names that match. Much of this is determined by the providers that are installed to the shell.
The code will also list all files and not just image files. We could put in a filter using Get-ChildItem.
Here is the code: http://sdrv.ms/1gQr1B8

Find Info from HTML file

I am trying to develop a program to read URLS and extract specific content from the source of the URLS. So far my program
Returns the HTML of a URL and writes the HTML to a file called Results.txt.
I now need to write a program that opens up this Results file and extracts the info that appears after certain tags. Some of these files are rather large to say the least and parsing HTML files is no simple task compared to files separated by simple white space.
Can anyone advise how I can search an HTML file for A particular tag. Is tokenisaing the file the answer? If so How can I define a token since HTML does not separate tokens by white spaces always.
Thanks for your help
Ross

Well ok I agree with you in what you say however I have designed my final year at uni project for parsing HTML and that's what Im commited to doing now. In hindsight I would have done things differently.
I am having difficulty knowing how to parse the HTML tho. Basically to look at, it's not nice at all. For example the HTML below how would I extract the info after the words "Double Rooms from" ?
</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"><hr size="1"/>

How do I find duplicate photos in iPhoto

I have so many duplicates in iPhoto that my library files is way too large by thousands of photos. I need to find a way to weed out duplicate photos. Anyone know how?
Thanks,
Barb

Where are you seeing these duplicates? If you're seeing them from withing the iPhoto window then you can use one of the apps listed below.
If you're seeing those "duplicate" files via the Finder then you don't have duplicates. iPhoto will have a minimum of 2 files in it's lbrary for each file imported. So don't relay on what you see via the Finder regarding duplicates in the iPhoto library.

hese applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: i photo has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but the only duplicate finder app that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates was PhotoSweeper. None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
iPLM, however, is the most versatile and best all around iPhoto utility to have.

What is the best app for identifying and removing duplicates from iPhoto Libraries/Pictures?

I have five iPhoto Libraries (original, default merged, etc.) I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager, but I seem to be digging a deeper hole. Also, question about the 15,000 faces: Are these taking up space on my hard drive? I gather I cannot easily remove them from libraries. Taking photos at concerts, sporting events, etc. just creates more faces in iPhoto; frankly, I could do without ANY FACE DETECTION!

How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?

How do I find duplicate songs/files in iTunes 11?
Earlier versions of iTunes had a simple menu option to click on.
All duplicates would then be listed. Cannot find this option now.
Regards ..... blayk.

If you want to free up your memory, maybe first checking to see if you got duplicates. -
From the File menu in iTunes, choose Show Duplicates. iTunes will then list all of the duplicate titles in your library.
If you delete a music in the iTunes folder, then when you try to play that particular music in your iTunes, it won't work as iTunes wouldn't be able to find it. However, when you import music on to your computer, always import straight into your iTunes, no where else.

How to find duplicate files in Finder with Automator or Apple ScriptEditor

D'oh! It's actually fairly easy - I just right clicked on the file, Get Info, Artwork tab, then dragged the picture to the desktop, from where I can do what I like with it. Never mind, nothing to see here, carry on.

Duplicate "._" jpg files from PS4

Hi
I'm new here so hope this hasn't been answered before - I couldn't find anything in search
I'm trying to put some jpgs (which I have edited in PS4 extended with my Mac), onto a memory stick and SD Ultra card to show on a Sony Bravia E4500 via the usb input.
The original files show on the Sony and they play beautifully - BUT now there is a duplicate set of files - same name - but with the prefix "._" These files won't play, thus making a slideshow virtually impossible. These duplicate files show up on a different brand of LCD as well so I doubt it's a Sony problem.
Unedited Camera files from the Nikon or Lumix cards directly copied to the memory stick don't exhibit this problem - neither do files from images downloaded with iPhoto and copied straight to the stick - yet if I open these files in PS and save to stick I get a duplicate set of files.
The files that don't have a problem don't have thumbnails when viewed on the stick menu
Files downloaded with Nikon software do produce duplicates without any PS editing.
So I'm thinking PS is adding something on Saving - like thumbnail info (or Nikon software - Capture or View)
I have tried saving the photos in PS without thumbnails but I still get the sane problem.
I have searched for these hidden files on the Mac and Memory stick using Houdini but couln't find them.
A PC cannot see these files either - only the LCD TVs
Sony Help couldn't help, neither could Apple Help.
I'm going crazy
Thanks
Alan

Neil is correct, these are the left-overs of the Mac OS resource fork.
They can be made to show up in a Windows XP if you select Tools then Folder Options... and then go to the View tab. On the list, check the "Show hidden files and folders" option. They can then be deleted.
To stop them being transmitted in emails (which confuses the heck out of some of my Windows-based clients), be sure to check "Send Windows Friendly Attachments" in Mail when attaching the files.
I had always thought that "Save for Web & Devices" would save without a resource fork, but just having tried it (PS CS4 11.0.1), it still seems to...
I believe there are also 3rd party utilites that will strip out resouce fork information from all files in a folder (something like "Resource Dropper")but I've not tried any myself.

I have no clue at all . could u pls help me step my step that I could learn from the very beginning. Thanks for your reply.I have to ask, what is this for?
Is it for a class? Are there no other people doing this assignment? Can you not ask the instructor for help, because we all know they're there for nothing other than to be called the instructor?
Is it for a job? How did you manage to get this job? Did you cheat your way through your classes to get a fancy little piece of paper saying you could program?
You can't tell us that by coming here you thought you could have your homework handed to you completed on a silver platter, and that we wouldn't have any qualms with doing your work for you?
What possesses you people? I don't understand the mentality.

MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas
