How can I combine multiple text files into a single, alphabetized list?

I have many, many lists of song titles. Each in its own textedit file. There is tons of overlap and duplication. I want to make a master list that has every song listed.
If I could somehow just merge them all and alphabetize the lines, I could manually get rid of duplicates fairly easily.
I have Tiger. Don't know if I have any application that would help. I probably don't want to buy an application, though, because I suspect I may not be able to stick with Tiger much longer.
I appreciate any tips you can give me.
Thanks a lot,
Bruce

It can Merge files then Sort them easily, even has a remove duplicate lines script available.
If the version you get doesn't have the sort perchance, here's a link, put sort in the search scripts box, get the second one, Sort Selection...

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

  • How can I combine multiple icloud calendars into a single published calendar?

    I have several calendars in Ical where I map my activities and schedules. Like many I need several calendars to categorise events.
    Now, I'd like others to see when I'm free and when I'm unavailable. For this, I'd need to find a way to copy multiple Icloud calendars into a single one for publishing - and the published calendar would also have to sync to any update I make in the original calendar.
    Any way to make this happen? Any third party app? Tried a couple - they were outdated and / or cumbersome.
    If only there was a "smart calendar" tool in Ical …

    It worked - up to the crucial point: after combining icloud calendars into one "on the machine" calendar, the latter is ready for going public. But of course - this public calendar will only contain the .ics files and will not sync for updates from the icloud calendars.
    And that's what I want.
    If this problem is not possible to solve with the software available in the Mac - is there any known third party solution for this?
    (Apple: "smart calendars" please!)

  • Can we combine multiple excel files into one excel file using SSIS?

    I have a bunch of excel files in a specified folder. I wanted to combine all the excel files into one excel file by adding additional tabs in one excel file. Can I do this using SSIS?
             OR
    I know using macro we can combine multiple excel files. Can we run a excel macro in SSIS? Please help me.
    Actually the complete package is this:
    Step1: Using FTP task I'm downloading the bunch of excel files into a folder.
    Step2: Above implementation is the second step that I have to do.  

    You can do it in two steps
    1. First get all data from excel sheets to a sql staging table. For that you need to use a looping logic as explained in below link (you dont required the additional logic used for checking file name etc in below example as you need all files). Also make
    source as excel instead of flat file
    http://visakhm.blogspot.in/2012/05/package-to-implement-daily-processing.html
    2. Once you get the data onto a single table, use below to get it exported to multiple sheets within same excel destination file

  • How can i feed a text file into a Hashtable?

    Hi,
    im working on my third year project, im new to java and am struggling a little with writing the code.
    I need to feed a text file into my program and insert it into a hashtable. I presume i'll be using an input stream to feed the file in, how do i go about placin the text file into a hashtable??
    please help!

    ok, so im trying to code an authorship attribution
    program. the first part of the program need to
    compare a text file A (list of words), with another
    two text files B and C. Compare how? Do you want to know how many times certain words from list A appear in files B and C?
    The words in list A will first be compared to those
    in list B and than list C. I was wondering if there
    was a way of inserting file A,A Map is a list of key/value pairs, so what do you mean by inserting here? What are you inserting? What would the keys and values here be?
    followed by B,
    comparing the two files.....than inserting file C and
    comparing it with A??
    Does this make sense??Not quite, but it might just be me.

  • Combine multiple CSV files into a single multi-column CSV file

    Hey Scripting Guy!
    I have what is probably a simple issue, but I haven't been able to find the right answer.
    I have 18 CSV files that each contain the same header and a single value as shown below:
    "Sum"
    "90"
    These files are the results of SMTP traffic by domain.
    All I want to do is to combine the 18 CSV files into a single file with the content of each file in a separate column, using the file name as the column header.
    For example:
    file1.csv
      "Sum"
      "90"
    file2.csv
      "Sum"
      "325"
    file2.csv
      "Sum"
      "3534"
    The desired ouput is:
    "file1.csv","file2.csv","file3.csv"
    "Sum","Sum","Sum"
    "90","325","3534"
    I don't need to row of Sum's if it is easy to leave out.  It would be even better if this could be put into an Excel spreadsheet.
    Thanks for your help!

    Can you post your script?

  • How can you combine multiple PDF pages into one searchable PDF page?

    I have scanned multiple business cards and now have a PDF  file with over 500 pages (or cards). I would like to be able and create a  page with 8 cards to a page and is still searchable for text. Right now, the text is searchable. Basically have 63 pages and not 500.
    Example:
    If I wanted to find Joe Smith's card, I could search for  "Joe Smith" and it would search all of the text and bring me to the  page(s). Right now, it will bring me to that page. Is there a way to create  a page where I can have multiple cards and the text is still searchable?
    I tried to create a page in Photoshop, made 8 different layers with 8  different cards, but when saved, not only was the file way too large, but no text, or font, was detected  and there was nothing to  search for.
    Is there an option to create a page in Acrobat Professional and put 8 cards to a page?
    I have InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Professional Pro.
    Thanks,
    mr19th

    That sounds great, but I'm lost.
    I followed these steps:
    1) Open your PDF (in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
    2) Chose print
    The print/printer options pop-up will show.
    3) In the printer section, do not use your normal printer, a printer named Adobe PDF should be an option. Chose it.
    4) Under the "Page handling" section, change the Page Scaling drop-down menu to "Multiple pages per sheet".
    It works fine, but it looses all of the font information and the search no longer works. How can you do it and save the font info, so the search tool continues to operate.
    Am I missing anything?

  • How can I combine two video files into one finished file?

    I'm making a video of a guitar player.  I'm using two cameras simultaneously.  One gives the overall wide shot, and the other is zoomed in on his hands.  Both cameras run at the same time.  I would like to use the wide shot as the main video, and occasionally fade in clips from the zoomed in shot to show details of his playing.  I can manually line up both files so they are synchronized.  How do I cut a clip out of the main (wide) shot, leave the gap there, and insert a clip from the closeup?  I'm putting the two video files on two of the video timelines and synchronizing them that way.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?

    The effect you are looking for is 'Picture in Picture'. If you want the gap to be there for the duration of the timeline add some 'black video' - from the Tasks Pane> New Item - on the video track above the main track. Resize / position it to where you wish it to be.
    Then with your second clip (now on video track 3)
    Do the same sizing / positioning for it.
    split video and audio and delete or disable the audio.
    Cut it where you want the various start/ends of the fade to be.
    Delete, or just disable (right-click) the unnecessary segments.
    Apply fade in / out to the remaining segments.
    [EDIT]
    Also check out the 'Presets' in Video Effects. There are a variety of PiP presets that may do what you need.

  • How can I combine my DVD files into one file for editing?

    Paul LS offers this excellent solution:
    Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt... the Command Prompt window will open.
    Assuming C: is your hard drive and D: is your DVD drive type the following commands...
    type: "d:" and press Enter, then type what is between the ".." below:
    type: "cd video_ts" and Enter
    type: "copy /b vts_01_0.vob + vts_01_1.vob + vts_01_2.vob c:\DVD.vob"
    vts_01_0.vob + vts_01_1.vob... etc are the vob files in the VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD.
    (Substitute the actual names of the vob files in your DVD's VIDEO_TS folder for "vts_01_0.vob", etc.)
    You will find the joined vob file under your C: directory and named "DVD.vob".
    This file is a single file with all the component vob files joined together.
    Note it could take some time to combine the vob files. Once it is complete it will say "1file copied" in the Command Prompt window.

  • Can I combine two text files into ine with ZEN

    I have to append a really long character string onto an existing txt file.
    I tried to modify the file in ZEN but the app blows up when it runs. Is
    there a way I could concatenate these two txt files together with ZEN
    instead?

    Another option would be to create two environment variables each holding
    1/2 the string. Then use the Text file section to write the two strings
    to the one file.

  • How can I convert multiple hidden files into normal files at once?

    I have a folder with a few hundred hidden files that I no longer want hidden.  If I were to change each file separately it would take hours to finish. I was hoping that there was some way to convert all of these files at once with the terminal. Can anyone offer a solution? Thanks.

    Can anyone help?
