How to compare the contents of two XML documents

Hi all,
I was trying to compare the contents of two xml documents, they are both validate for the same XML Schema. i was using the xmlunit to do this. but some how it doesn't work like what i have expected. for example:
1.xml : <test><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
2.xml: <test><item>3</item><item>2</item><item>1</item></test>
the result from XMLUnit is this two xmls are different, but it compares <item>2</item> with <item>3</item>, which i cannot find out where the real diiffs are.
does anybody know how i can do this correct?
best regards,
tina

I faced a similar problem in one of my projects and hence wrote my own comparator. Most comparators like ExamXML etc show XML as different if the nodes under a parent node occur in different seqeunce or a set of repeated nodes occur in different sequence. The comparator that I wrote gives you the flexibility to configure how to identify a node from a set of repeated nodes and is able to compare them successfully if they occur in any order. You can view the sample output at http://geocities.com/dheerendra_itbhu/TipsFromDheeru.html
and contact me in case you need the source code.

How can i compare the contents of two folders ?

how can i compare the contents of two folders and find out which files are in one but not in the other?? Knowing how to do this would be the best thing ever, especially when dealing with a large number of files. Often, for instance, I'm dealing with a large number of images, processing them, and saving the retouched ones to a new folder, and need to check that they are all there. If there are say three files missing in the second folder (out of say a hundred in total) being able to automate the process of elimination would be very useful. Please help!!!

I really wish I knew the answer to this. I work between two macs, a G5 and MacBook Pro when I'm on the go. Each time I move from one to the other I have to copy all my files to the computer I'm going to work on, so I end up with the same files being duplicated. It's not a problem if it's not much data but in my case the it can be to 30GB, mostly graphics files, photoshop, motion, final cut pro, etc.
There's has got to be a way automator can make a comparison between two folders to sort out what's changed and what's remained the same. It would be nice also if this feature could be done globally on the hard disk using spotlight's technology to stop files being duplicated in places you didn't even know about and taking up valuable disk space. I'm not sure how this could be done.
Any bright ideas Apple?

Can we compare file contents of two files in the Application server?

Hi,
A file is generated daily to the application server. and i need to compare the generated file to the file generated on the previous day and prepare a report.
Can we compare file contents of two generated files present in the Application server?
If there is any alternative, please suggest.
regards
cs

yes we can compare if the app server is Unix.
cmp compare two binary files and report if different
cmp is silent if the files are the
     same;
if they differ, the byte and line number at which the first
difference occurred is reported.
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'cmp file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].

How to download the content to a PDF source file.

Hi All,
I am using FileDownload UI element in the ADOBE interactive to download the content to a PDF file.
Please help me how to download content to a PDF file.
Thanks,
Archana.

hi Archana,
you will get the byte format of the pdf form the pdf source attribute , create a resource using that byte data of type pdf as following
IWDResource iwdResource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(wdcontext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource(), "resource name", WDWebResourceType.PDF);
create a context element say fileresource of type iwdresource.
set it's value as following.
    wdContext.currentContextElement().setFileResource(iwdResource);
and do the following code on the action of the download button.
public void downloadFile( )
    //@@begin createExternalPopup()
    // get the resource from the context
    IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getFileResource();
    //create an external window. A download dialog should appear
    IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal()) ,"Title");
    //@@end

How to implement Search content of the PDF In Windows Store apps

Hi,
I Have Rendered PDF in Windows Store apps .I am not able to Search the Content of the PDF .Please Suggest me best Solution
Thanks
m venkatasuresh

You'll need to either interpret the PDF file yourself or find a 3rd party PDF component.
The in-box PDF renderer produces a non-searchable image rather than text (I suppose you could
OCR the rendered image, but that's a pretty ugly solution)

Script to Compare File Contents in Two Folders and List Differences?

I've looked through the Forum but can't find anything that seems quite to address my problem--and I'm really new to AppleScript, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.
I burn a great many files of varying kinds (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, PDF, etc.) to DVD everyday as part of my job. It happens not infrequently, though, that files drop out in the process and don't make it to the disk, with the result that I get calls from Manufacturing saying that I've screwed up and that random files X, Y, and Z are not on the disk that I sent.
I've tried various ways to failproof my burning routine, but utlimately, it seems like something still slips through sometimes--that is, the files are definitely in by Source Folder, but sometimes they don't leap the chasm to the disk. And since there can be several hundred files, it can be difficult to know at a glance if something is wrong.
It would be extremely helpful if there were a script that I could run to compare the contents of the folder source on my desktop (just say its called "Source Folder") with the contents of a disk I have just burned (whose name might vary, but whose folder structure is a duplicate of the subfolders in "Source Folder" that I have burned to disk. All I need the script to tell me is if there are files in my desktop Source Folder than are not on the burned disk).
Is this possible? I'd appreciate any help anyone could offer--right now, I'm printing up the disk directory and a list of the files from my desktop Source Folder and comparing them line for line, and my soul is dying.
Please help!

This can be pretty easily hacked together using a combination of AppleScript and shell scripting.
There's a shell command diff that can tell if two directories are the same or not. You can use AppleScript to put a nice front-end on it, like:
set src to (choose folder with prompt "Select the source directory")
set dst to (choose folder with prompt "Select the destination directory/disk")
try
do shell script "diff -rq " & quoted form of POSIX path of src & space & quoted form of POSIX path of dst
on error theErr
display dialog "The following differences were found:" & return & return & theErr
return
end try
display dialog "Directories match. No differences found"
It's quick and dirty, but should get you started. It runs the diff command which triggers the 'on error' code if there are any differences. The script then reports the differences and exits. If there are no differences the 'on error' code is skipped and you get the all clear message.

How to merge the contents of two Photo Booths?

Hello. We have two Macbooks (Old + Existing). Both are/were updated to Maverick. However, I have restored the Old Macbook back to original (Snow Leopard) in order to sell. I manually took off files as well as doing a Time Machine backup.
I would like to add all the photos and videos from Photo Booth on the Old Macbook into my Existing Macbook.
Is this possible either a. through a specific file in Time Machine (I do NOT wish to replace the Existing with the Old. This is a merger.) or b. with the Photo Booth library I copied onto an external harddrive? However, this is one 1.75gb file with the Photo Booth icon (a film strip) rather than separate photo files. I am unsure how to access individual photographs or videos. I was hesitant to open it up in case it negatively affected the Existing Photo Booth.
Thanks for any assistance.

Great, I just lost 10 GB of data thanks to OSX folder merge... because appaerantly I should have known better not to keep a subfolder inside my folder I was trying to merge
I can not beleive more people don't have a problem with this. Merge contents in Lion does NOT merge contents if 1 or more of those supposed "contents" is a subfolder
Merge contents of two folders only works for files, it does NOT work for subfolders!!!!
Can we please get this acknowledged as a bug that needs fixing?
EXAMPLE:
Drive1 / Folder1
               - text1.txt
               - text2.txt
               - / subfolder / text3.text
MERGE TO
Drive2 / Folder1
               - text1.txt (this gets updated / merged)
               - text2.txt (this gets updated / merged)
               - / subfolder /
                         - text.txt
                         - text2.txt     (this should get text3.txt merged into it, from Drive1, but instead this subfolder is REPLACED, and NOT MERGED!!)
Why would i want to replace a folder if I'm trying to merge it!?
Almost 2013 and OSX still cant merge a folder? unbelievable

How to Merge the Contents of Two Folders in Lion, Keeping the Newer Versions of Duplicate Files.

Select and copy all the contents of the folder containing the newer files. Paste the files ONTO the folder containing the older files. The unique files will be copied into the older folder without further ado. For the duplicates, a window will appear warning that a file with the same name already exists in the older folder. Check the "Apply to All" box and click on the Replace button, not the Skip button. These steps will merge all the files in the newer folder into the older folder, replacing the duplicates with the copies from the newer folder.
Unfortunately, the only information that the warning window provides about the duplicates is their common name, not sizes, dates, or times. These steps worked for me because I knew for certain that all the newer files were in one folder.

How to update bookmarks when merging two PDF files?

We have a company catalog that gets generated once a night. It's three step process:
     Step 1) A raw XML file gets generated from our main ERP software (Microsoft Dynamics).
     Step 2) Then that raw XML file is ran against a stylesheet with XEP to produce a nice professional looking catalog.
     Step 3) And the third step is a script that merges the front and back covers with the main catalog produced in step 2. Each cover is two pages (front and back).
My problem is when step 3 runs it produces a final catalog but all the bookmarks are off by 2 pages because the front cover adds two pages in the very beginning. This post may be premature because up until now I've been merging the PDF pages with a program called "GhostScript" and it allows me to merge them via line command. I'm just now trying out AcroExch.App COM Object for VBScript so I'll see if it works but wanted to fire this out for help to see if anyone has encountered this or can confirm if Adobe automatically updates them for you? When I "Merge" the PDF files through Acrobat Pro they get updated automatically, so hopefully it will work the same way with AcroExch.App Object.   Thanks guy!

I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm saying... we are not performing tasks for non-licensed individuals. We purchased a copy of Adobe Acrobat Standard so we could create a PDF of our catalog. That catalog we then put on our website and let people download it. Since our products change all the time, we generate a new catalog every night. The term "server" is just a place where a script runs, I could have it run on my desktop computer if that's really an issue but I think we're talking semantics. Acrobat is not what produces the main catalog PDF, that is done through XEP when it runs through the raw XML produced by our ERP software every night. The only thing we want Acrobat to do is an automated process to merge 3 PDF files together: Front Cover, Main Catalog and Back Cover. That's it.   Are you saying that is against the EULA of Adobe for us to do that?
Now for the bookmark problem, what do you recommend I do then? When I merge all three of those PDF files in Acrobat Standard manually it works perfect. All I'm trying to do is automate that process once every night. I know how to automate with Acrobat, I just can't figure out how to fix the bookmark problem?

How do I create links between two pdfs using FrameMaker 9, while both files remain open?

In FrameMaker 9 is there a way to create cross reference to a particular page on another doc (without closing the current/source doc)?
I tried using "openpage filename:pagenumber" option, the link takes me to page 1 of the referenced doc not to the specified page, and as it is a hyper link when page 1 of the referenced doc gets displayed the souce doc closes.
When a link is clicked in the source doc, it is required that the source doc remians open.
This is an urgent requirement, can anyone please reply soon?

I think you've already asked this in this thread - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5613200#5613200 - and it's been answered there.

How to compare record count of two tables?

Hi,
i am in need of simple sql script where i can compare two table record count.
i have something like below:
(select count(*) from table1) minus (select count(*) from table2)
now the problem is if the table1 count greater then table2 count the output is fine.
If the table2 record count is more then i am getting zero as the output.
how can i get the difference in two tables record count?
Thanks a lot in advance.
--Raman.

Doing a MINUS between the counts does not yield the diff.
e.g. if table A has 100 records and table B has 70 records then,
SELECT count(*) FROM A
minus
SELECT count(*) from B
will give 100 and not 30.
Try this:
SELECT (
CASE WHEN ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B)) <0
THEN ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B))* -1
ELSE ((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B)) END) Difference
FROM dualor this is simpler
SELECT abs(((select count(*) cnt from A) - (select count(*) cnt from B))) difference FROM dualEdited by: Caitanya on Jan 9, 2009 7:12 AM
Applied abs function after seeing BluShadow's post :)
