Help with Sort function in Terminal

Hello all... this is my first post on here as I'm having some trouble with some Termianl commands. I'm trying to learn Terminal at the moment as it is but I would appreciate some help with this one....
I'm trying to sort a rather large txt file into alphabetical order and also delete any duplicates. I've been using the following command in Terminal:
sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
but after a while I get the following error
sort: string comparison failed: Illegal byte sequence
sort: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem.
sort: The strings compared were `ariadnetr\345dens\r' and `ariadnetr\345ds\r'.
What should my initial command be? What is Set LC_ALL='C'?
Hope you guys can help?

Various languages distinct sorting - collation - sequences. 
The characters can and variously do sort differently, depending on what language is involved. 
Languages here can include the written languages of humans, and a few settings associated with programming languages.  This is all part of what is known as internationalization and localization, and there are are various documents around on that topic.
The LC_ALL environment variable sets all of the locale-related settings en-mass, including the collation sequence that is established via LC_COLLATE et al, and the sort tool is suggesting selecting the C language collation.
Here, the tool is suggesting the following syntax:
LC_ALL=C sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This can also be done by exporting the LC_ALL, but it's probably better to just do this locally before invoking the tool.
Also look at the lines of text in question within the files, and confirm the character encoding of the file.
Files can have different character encodings, and there's no reliable means to guess the encoding.  For some related information, see the file command:
file words.txt
...and start reading some of the materials on internationalization and localization that are posted around the 'net. Here's Apple's top-level overview.
In this case, it looks like there's an "odd" character and probably an å character on that line and apparently the Svenska ariadnetrådens. 
Switching collation can help here, or - if the character is not necessary - removing it via tr or replacing it via sed can be equally effective solutions. 
Given it appears to be Svenska, it might work better to switch to Svenska collation thanto  the suggested C collation.
I think that's going to be sv_SE, which would make the command:
LC_ALL=sv_SE sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This is all generic bash shell scripting stuff, and not specific to OS X.  If you haven't already seen them, the folks over at tldp have various guides including a bash guide for beginners, and an advanced bash scripting guide - both can be worth skimming.  They're not exactly the same as bash on OS X and some specific commands and switches can differ, and as bash versions can differ, but bash is quite similar across all the platforms.

Divide it by 24 and what? if you multiply it on 24 you will have a chance to know how many hours between these two dates. :-)Don't forget that a DATE type also includes a time component.I suppose it doesn't matter if you did a difference between two dates. The result is always number of days.

    Hi,
    That's called String Aggregation , and the following site shows many ways to do it:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
    Which one should you use? That depends on which version of Oracle you're using, and your exact requirements.
    For example, is order importatn? You said the results shoudl include:
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexicobut would you be equally happy with
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canadaor
    CLIENT_ID  COUNTRIES
    1        Australia, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Korea?

    If you'd like help, post your best attempt, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

  • Help with sort

    So I have a class called Token and a class called TokenArray. I have a sort function to sort an array of Tokens. I'm pretty new to java so I assumed a sort function would work the same as in C but for some reason it deletes the data instead of switching them. Here is my function:
    public void sortTokens() {
              boolean swapped = false;
              Token temp;
              do {
                   for(int i = 0; i < m_numTokens-1; i++) {
                        if(m_tokenArray.compareToIgnoreCase(m_tokenArray[i+1]) > 0) {
                             temp = m_tokenArray[i];
                             m_tokenArray[i] = m_tokenArray[i+1];
                             m_tokenArray[i+1] = temp;
                             swapped = true;
              } while (swapped);
    Can someone tell me why this isn't working?

    No, you have to tell us why it is not working. Then we might be able to tell you what the problem is. Do you get errors when you compile it? Or when you run it? Or does it do something that you didn't expect?
    If so, tell us about those errors, expectations, what happened, and so on.
    Personally I would not write any sorting code at all, given the existence of the Arrays.sort() method. Unless this is homework and you aren't allowed to use that.

  • Help with bash function(set background=dark/light in vimrc)

    I couldn't find any gvimrc files so I guess it uses the regular one. And since I work pretty much in X too  I thought it would be nice with a function that sets background=light if I'm in X an background=dark if not. Is that possible?
    /Richard

    vimrc configuration is not the same as bash.
    You probably want something like this in your ~/.vimrc:
    if has('gui_running')
    set background=light
    else
    set background = dark

  • Help with SUM function ??

    Hi,
    I am trying to build a SUM function into the following SELECT statement;
    SELECT   emp_code "EmployeeCode", trn_date "TransactionDate", project "ProjectCode",
    phase_code "PhaseCode", task_code "TaskCode", reg_hrs "RegularHoursAmt", rate_reg "RegularHoursRate", ot_hrs "OvertimeHoursAmt", rate_ot "OvertimeHoursRate"
    Currently when i do the extract to xls I manually compile the "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate" manually and it's quite a task. I'm sure it can be completed in teh SELECT but I'm not clear on how and it's been quite some time since my last foray into SQL. Any assistance appreciated.
    I need to sum "RegularHoursAmt" and "RegularHoursRate"
    per "EmployeeCode"
    by "TransactionDate"
    with unique combo of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"

    Thanks Frank for the quick response. Ok, here goes;
    The TABLES already exist and I am only pulling the data for the columns in my SELECT statement so no CREATE of INSERT as such.Post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
    The data is in Oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0Perfect!
    So you want totals that represent the entire day for a given employee.
    Yes, but rows are by the unique combo per employee of "ProjectCode", "PhaseCode", "TaskCode"So a row of output will represent a distinct combination of employee, day, ProjectCode, PhaseCode and TaskCode, and that one output row may correspond to more than one row of input; is that right?
    eg Tom works on 4 unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts on "TransactionDate"What does "effort" mean here? If I could look at some actaul data (or actual fake data; don't post anything like real credit card numbers) and the results you want from that data, perhaps it would be clear.
    One of those unique "ProjectCode/PhaseCode/TaskCode" efforts however has 3 timesheet entries as he has added unique Descriptions of what his efforts were aimed at achieving.
    We are not extracting the Descriptions and thereby want to SUM those 3 timesheet entries into one row.
    Do you also want a total for each employee, over all days? No thanks
    Do you want a grand total for all employees and all days? No thanks
    Do you want the totals on the same output rows as your current reuslts? That would be handy
    If so, use the analytic SUM function. I'm not familiar with this
    Do you want separate rows for the the totals? That could helpPost the exact results you want from a small set of given data. It's fine to describe the results, as you did above, but describe them in addition to (not instead of) actually showing them.
    Does that make my questions easier to follow?It looks good, but without some sample data and the results you want from that data, I can't say for sure.
    Please post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements (relevant columns only) for a little sample data, so that I (and the others who want to help you) can see exactly what your tables are like, and actually try our solutions. Simplify as much as possible. For example, if the data is actually coming from a multi-table join, but you already know how to join all the tables perfectly, then pretend all the data is in one table, and post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for that one table that looks sort of like your current result set. Post just enough data to show what you want to do. Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing that 10 to 20 rows of raw data, resulting in 3 to 7 rows of output could give a nice example.
    Also, post the exact results you want from the sample data you post. Explain, with specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    If parts of your desired output are optional (that is, if some parts "would be handy" or "could help") then post a couple of different sets of results from the same data, and explain, something like this:
    "What I'd really love to get for results is" ...
    but, if that makes things really complicated or inefficient, I don't absolutely need ... or ...,
    so I'd settle for these results: ..."
    I know it's a lot of work to post all this information, but it's really necessary. If I could help you without making you do all this, then I would. Unfortunately, I really don't have a good idea of where you're coming from or where you want to go.

  • Help with Hasvalue Function in 2008

    Dear all,
    I have a question regarding "Hasvalue" function under Crystal Reports 2008. I have created a quite extensive report based on quite alot of parameters. These parameters need to be Optional i.e. if user does not enter a value then all the records according to date parameter should be chosen, however if any one parameter value has been entered then report should filter according to that parameter value as well as date parameter values.
    The report prints out results fine however it takes quite a lot of time to load. Example would be, yesterday when I ran the report Database query took 87238ms and reading records took 30691ms hence report formatting a first page took 981428ms.
    Upon research and help from Brian in this forum I found out that while using "Hasvalue" the even when I use parameter value in one of the parameters, only date parameters are getting passed through the SQL query to the database, rest are not passed meaning that it reads all the records and then sort them in the end.
    I have only one parameter which is not optional and that is date parameter, rest all are optional.
    My question is, how can I pass the parameter values when chosen through the SQL query so that it can search the db upon query and not read all the records and sort at last.
    Any ideas how to make it work?
    Many thanks
    Regards
    Jehanzeb

    On the report under Report>Record->Selection formula.
    Infact here is the formula
    {order_header.date_entered} >= {?Start Date} and
    {order_header.date_entered} <= {?End Date} and
    (not HasValue({?Account Number}) or {order_header.account_no} = {?Account Number})and

    (not HasValue({?Sales Area}) or {slslsp.slr_slsperson} in {?Sales Area});
    All the Hasvalue are not being passed on through SQL, as you can see below I have chosen a customer account number but it does not reflect in the query, however the results are according to customer account.
    SELECT DISTINCT order_header.order_no, order_header.order_status, order_header.date_entered,

    In this case change the context of  all these A,B,C to their respective parent node.
    write a user define function to accept these 3 queues , write a java logic to fiund uniqueness among all the records,  add the resulkt to Resultset , which is output map to T.

  • Need help with effect / function stop!

    Hi all!
    I tried to build some kind of custom pop-up-menu with fade
    in/out effect, however the menu sometimes (< very often, but not
    always) disappears while the mouse is still over it.
    So i defined a function to stop/abort the effects, but this
    doesn't work right.
    Could anybody please tell me, how to stop all functions,
    while the mouse is over a link?
    /// This is the container to appear / disappear:
    <div id="navislide" style="height:292px;
    overflow:hidden;">
    <a href="mylink.html" onMouseOver="killall();"
    onMouseOut="hideit();">mylink</a>
    </div>
    /// This is the link to show the container:
    <a href="#"
    onMouseOver="slidefadein.start();">mylink</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function displayblock() {
    var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
    thediv.style.display= "block";
    slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
    hideit = function() {
    slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
    function displaynone() {
    var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
    thediv.style.display= "none";
    killall = function() {
    clearTimeout(slidetimer);
    slidefadeout.stop();
    slidefadein.stop();
    displayblock();
    slidefadeup.start();
    var slidefadein = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide", {from:0,
    to:100, toggle:false, setup:displayblock, finish:hideit});
    var slidefadeout = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
    {from:100, to:0, toggle:false, finish:displaynone});
    var slidefadeup = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
    {from:100, to:100, toggle:false});
    </script>
    Probably, its all about the "killall"-function, because when
    the mouse moves over the link, the function to abort all other
    effects, does not take effect.
    Thank you so much vor any kind of help or hint!!

  • Help with analytical function

    I successfully use the following analytical function to sum all net_movement of a position (key for a position: bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy) from first occurrence until current row:
    SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 0 FOLLOWING) holding,
    what i need is another column to sum net_movement of a position but only for the current date, but all my approaches fail..
    - add the date (val_dt) to the 'partition by' clause and therefore sum only values with same position and date
    SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY val_dt, bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND 0 FOLLOWING) today_net_movement
    - take the holding for the last date and subtract it from the current holding afterwards
    SELECT SUM (net_movement) OVER (PARTITION BY bp_id, prtfl_num, instrmnt_id, cost_prc_crncy ORDER BY TRUNC (val_dt) RANGE BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND -1 FOLLOWING) last_holding,
    - using lag on the analytical function which calculates holding fails too
    I also want to avoid creating a table which stores the last holding..
    Does anyone sees where I make a mistake or knows an alternative to get this value?
    It would help me much!
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you,
    but I already tried that but it returns strange values which are not the correct ones for sure.
    It is always the same value for each row, if its not 0, and a very high one (500500 for example), even if the sum of all net_movement of that date is 0 (and the statement for holding returns 0 too)
    I also tried witch trunc(val_dt,'DDD') with the same result (without trunc it is the same issue)
    please help if you can, thanks in advance!

  • Help with existNode function

    I am using the existNode function to check whether a specific node exists or has a value for it in the XML.
    So, am using it within an IF condition as below;

             DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('L_xml = Style exists');
    END IF;
    Here L_xml is my initial XML message received which is a CLOB converted to an XMLTYPE.
    The above works fine.
    But after I do an EXTRACT operation on the above XML to get only the portion of it (from a particular start tag to its corresponding end tag), and feed this output for my existNode function as below;
        IF L_itm_xml.existSNode('/ItemFamily/Style/Item/Attributes/ItemAttributes/ExtRefNo') > 0 THEN
             DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('itm_xml = ');
        END IF;
    It does not give me the desired output.
    I would like to know, if there is any restriction on the existNode usage.
    Am asking this coz am a bit skeptical on whether this is happening due to XML being stripped off its header.
