Utility like the diff command in UNIX?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any tool/utility that can show me the difference (data) between 2 similar (structurally) tables. Or any tool that can at least simulate it.
Thanks,

If it's important, make a feature request.
In Numbers, go to the Numbers menu, choose Provide Numbers Feedback. Submit your request. If enough users make the request to catch the development team's attention, you may see the feature (or something similar) added (but not before the next full edition).

  • Using the MAIL command of UNIX through JAVA

    Can any one give me a lead or example on how to call the MAIL command of UNIX to send mails using JAVA.

    Use java.lang.Process for it. See the code below, it will
    help you understand how it would be possible.
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("mail username");
    in = p.getInputStream();
    out = p.getOutputStream();
    Now stdout will be available on 'in' for reading e.g.
    you can expect Subject: and Cc: lines on linux box.
    and write data/message to 'out'. It will be the message
    which you will wrile in normal use of mail on stdin.
    Good Luck

  • Make "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior)...

    Please make Photoshop's "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior). So that when using the "step backward" to undo something it doesn't unnecessarily select a different layer . The current "step backward" layer change issue is inconvenient because it causes unnexpected layer selection change.

    Has this happened yet ( an upgrade that fixes the step back layer switch problem ) in any updates?
    Arghhh very annoying.

  • Repeat command or action like the F4 command in Excel

    In Excel there is a way to repeat the same command previously performed by pressing the F4 key. This makes thing like adding a new rows or columns and changing characteristics much easier. Is this option available in Numbers 2009? I have not been able to find it in Numbers 2008. It seems like a very easy option to have because the command is stored in memory in order to be able to undo and redo the command.
    My apologies for referencing such an inferior product class as Microsoft when discussing Apple programs but Excel is probably Microsoft's best program, has been around for a while, and Numbers is still a baby. Although, Numbers is much more idealistic in many respects which is great, especially considering its age.
    I want to find out if this issue has been addressed before I send feedback to Apple.
    ThankU Much,
    DarrellSY

  • Exchange 2013 feature reqest - an MMC based managment utility like the EMC for 2007 and 2010

    This web based admin tool is really quite a disappointment.
    Considering what Exchange 2007 and 2010 had, this is a giant step backwards. Hopefully someone will wake up and by SP1 incorporate a usable gui management tool into Exchange.
    It does not help that some of the powershell commands were changed or made more complicated. Specific ones I have found so far were the ones relating to certificates, import-exchangecertificate, new-exchangecertificate, etc

    Totally agree!!!!!
    Microsoft is clearly under new management...that which appears to be toddlers, infants, and farts
    They've totally fuked up Office, Visio, Windows 8 (what a piss poor pile of monkey shit), Exchange (without doubt their finest enterprise product for nearly 2 decades) and who know what other bundles of devolution joy they've got squishing around
    in their diapers for us.
    VMware and Apple appear to be under the same new management.  If Steve Jobs saw the IPhone 5 and IOS7...well he probably did and that's why ALL previous IPhone's were and remained that which all others were measured.
    WHAT FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!Rule 1 of new mgt is "DO NO HARM!!!!!!!" you big idiots.
    I've never been big on tradition when it's a cover for lazy...but to arrogantly abandon that which got you where you are is criminal.  And I'm not saying browser technology will never be a suitable platform to oust mmc's or thick clients, but forcing
    it is just juvenile...it should happen naturally and certainly only after the attainment of feature parity and supremacy.  Both of which are a decade off.

  • Looks like the Locate command causes iTunes v11.1 to hang

    I was using iTunes at a party last night when I noticed that issuing Command+L causes iTunes to hang when it is playing a song in one playlist and I'm viewing another playlist.  Anyone else see this?

    Yup. Also discussed here and here.

  • Using unix 'diff' command to publish iweb to non .mac server

    It is a common problem that you can't upload incremental changes to a website a web server that is not a .mac. Recently I found that the unix (shell) 'diff -qr' works nicely for this.
    However I can't seem to get this to work in automator. That is where I need some help.
    What I did :
    I have an iweb website in my directory
    Documents/website
    I made a second directory where I store my uploaded version of the website:
    Documents/websiteonserver
    Using a shell script I want to compare the differences between these two directories using the diff command in a shell script. When I run 'diff -qr websiteonserver website' in a terminal window, it gives a nice overview of which files are changed and which ones are new. When workin with iWeb this saves me a lot of time uploading my homepage to a non .mac server. I can only upload the changed files, which is usually only a few. Diff does not look at timestamps (which are useless in the iweb case) but it actually looks into a file and with the -q option it stops when it finds a difference. With the -r added (-qr) it also looks through all subdirectories and compares files with the same name.
    I like to automate this process so that my wife can update our family homepage with just one mouseclick (or as few as possible)
    Unfortunately the diff command in automator gives an error, and there's no info on why it does this.
    The commands I gave:
    cd Documents
    diff -qr websiteonserver website
    (using PWD i verified that the path is correct like this). The only stumbling block for automator seems to be the diff command. Anybody any suggestions on this?
    The next challenge is to take the diff output and use that to upload only changed/new files to a ftp server.
    Any help / ideas are welcome
    Greetings,
    Adriaan

    Dear Cyclosaurus,
    I used a single command as us specified. It really helped to add the path to the directories I wanted to compare. So now at least I got it two work partly:
    It seems to work only if I compare two files. Comparing directories still does not work. Maybe diff generates some kind of error code when doing this??? It does not do that in the shell.
    If I compare all files in directories + subdirectories , the workflow does not work. It seems as if it only accepts a single output line or so from the diff function. If there is more output (or maybe some newline character) the workflow halts. Very peculiar.
    mmm.... I will try to make a shell script which I can run in automator. In the script file I will then generate a txt file. Then the automator can run the script and then it can open the resulting file in a text editor. See if that works.
    mmm nope. I made a script like this:
    #!/bin/bash
    diff -qr ~/Documents/websiteon_theserver/ ~/Documents/website/ > ~/Documents/logfile.txt
    I modified the atributes to executable and I could run it from the command line. The logfile.txt was created and has the correct info. I could not run it from automator...
    I did copy the last line from the script into automator. And also there it does create the logfile, but the automator still says there was an error and stops.
    maybe I should try Applescript, were it not that I am totally clueless on that language...

  • A utility like Unix 'file' in Java?

    Does any one know of a utility like the standard Unix utility 'file' that is written in Java?
    'file' does more than look at filename extensions. It maintains a list of rules for identifying many file types based on their contents.

    Hi,
    This is in relation to your previous post about Marshalling.
    Were you ever able to work this problem out?
    I am currently trying to DeMarshal a XML input stream back to a SOAP object. But for some reason my Object Marshalling class does not seem to execute. I have been able to Marshal an object to a SOAP object but the reverse does not seem to work.
    Could you please shed some light on this problem?
    Thanks.
    XML and JAXB are new to me (well, I guess JAXB's new to everyone) so please excuse the elementary nature of this question.
    Is it possible to marshall an arbitrary Java object to XML without explicitly writing a DTD?
    I'm interested in storing instance of Java objects as XML, rather than serializing them. Is this possible? Is it crazy? Are there restriction on the kinds of objects that can be marshalled?
    Eg. could a class like
    public class ClassX {   Image img;   URL u;   long l;   String s;    public void someMethod() {}}
    be marshalled?
    Thanks,
    bw

  • Diff command in Oracle

    Hi All,
    Just curious to know whether there is any command in Oracle which has the same functionality of diff command in UNIX.
    diff command will give the difference between 2 scripts by checking each and every line.
    Thanks
    Hari

    Actually I am trying to write a trigger which would be fired as and when a new database object has been created. I would then store the code of that database object.
    If a user creates a table,drops it and then creates the same table. My script would be storing the code of the table twice.So I want to compare the two versions of the table before storing. And hence that thought came to my mind.
    Thanks

  • Executing "at" command of UNIX through JSP

    Friends,
    1. "at" command in UNIX execute Unix command at a scheduled time. 2. For each user there will be a table maintained internally which can be accessed by "at" with "-l" argument.
    3. A mail will be sent to the owner with the output of the commands as a message.
    I tried to run the "at" command of Unix in JSP, which gets succesfully executed in Oracle 10g App Server container (Installed in Solaris machine). I have tested the successful execution of command with the log file. But I haven't got any mail for the output. If anyone had any idea, please help me.
    The code I have wtitten is
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc = rt.exec(new String[] {"sh","-c","at 2115 Dec 7 < /export/home/usr1/abc.sh"});
    InputStream stderr = proc.getErrorStream();
    InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
    String line = null;
    logger.info("<ERROR>");
    while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
    logger.info(line);
    logger.info("</ERROR>");
    int exitVal = proc.waitFor();
    logger.info("Process exitValue: " + exitVal);
    My doubts are:
    1. Who is the owner of the output of "at"command, which gets executed under Oracle 10g App Server container?
    2. If no one is the owner, then where will the output of "at" command will go?
    3. Is there any other way to execute "at" command of UNIX in java program? If so, then please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    regards
    Nandha Kumar.M

    I would imagine the process call out will be under the guise of the process owner of the OC4J instance which executing the call.
    Have you seen anything different.

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

  • Is there an ARD command or Unix command that I can send to reset the desktop background image to default?

    I was forced to create a local user with an automatic login on all of the machines in the building. I listed off many various issues that could come arise by doing this but was tuned out. Now people are changing all of the desktop backgrounds to some pretty inappropriate images. I forewarned the person ordering this that this may be one of the many issues that would arise when doing away with our server based logins, and now I am charged with fixing every desktop every time someone changes it to something inappropriate.
    Is that an Apple Remote Desktop command or a Unix command that I can send through ARD v3.5.3 to the machines to reset the desktop background image to the default Aqua Blue jpeg image located in the /MacintoshHD/Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Aqua\ Blue.jpg.
    The machines that I am dealing with have OS X 10.4.11, OS X 10.5.8, OS X 10.6.8, and OS X 10.7.4 installed on them, but the OS X 10.4.11 machines are the ones that are creating the biggest issue so I would like to deal with those first.

    Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
    My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
    So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

  • The built-in Send UNIX Command templates include 'Login User'

    On page 144 of the Administrator's Guide.pdf is the title The built-in Send UNIX Command templates include:
    Under Miscellaneous it has as the first command "Login User" however it isn't listed for me.
    Upon further investigation I discovered in /Applications/Remote Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/UnixCommandTask.strings on line 75 presetLoginUser = "Login User";
    Also noted in the MacEnterprise video 2006-04-18_hres.mov at 00:23:07 it is not listed.
    I'm aware of the the scripts capable of doing this, I would just like to know why it is not available in the built-in commands or am I missing something?
    Thanks to anyone who can help me answer this question.

    No, you're not missing anything. The missing template was reported as a bug (or incorrect documentation) several times, but for some unknown Apple didn't fix the problem, either by including the template (missing perhaps because the script is unreliable with Mac OS X 10.4) or removing the reference from the manual, before ARD 3 was released.

  • Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?

    In a local network, I get access denied errors from macs that have the vnc password different than the Administrative login user password. I needed to change the Admistrator password which I did thru the Unix command in ARD2.
    Now.
    Is there a way to change the VNC password thru unix command in ARD2?
    Example:
    remote computer setup
    Panther 10.3.9
    vnc password - gopher
    user ID - testARD with admin rights
    user password - backdoor
    ARD2 Computer setup
    10.4.10
    login ID - testARD
    password - backdoor
    I get the blue icon but get an 'access denied' error.
    I change the password from backdoor to gopher.
    I get the red with dash icon but, can get access to the computer.
    What is going on? Is ARD2 using the VNC resource instead of ARDs resources?

    A quick search of Google finds this <http://www.macgeekery.com/tips/cli/settingremote_desktops_vnc_password_interminal>. I have not tested this myself.
