Hello,
I have done much googling on this, but apparently not using the right keywords.
I am assuming there is some kind of header for each file on a disk which stores information such as mod time, access time, etc.
I have two questions:
1) is there a way to read this header directly,... (2 Replies)
Hi ,
I have a typical situation. I have 4 files and with different headers (number of headers is varible ).
I need to make such a merged file which will have headers combined from all files (comman coluns should appear once only).
For example -
File 1
H1|H2|H3|H4
11|12|13|14

Hey Guys,
Absolute neewbie here. I am trying to see if it is possible to edit headers/meta-data of files in Mac OSX. I am basically trying to change an audio file header to read 16bit instead of 24bit.
We have an issue with some of our software and it regularly exports 16bit audio files with... (3 Replies)
Dear All
I was wondering if anybody is able to help me with a script I am struggling with. I have to add comments to the "head-lines" (start with >) from an other file according to the ID tag. Only the head lines should be modified.

merge
MERGE(1) General Commands Manual MERGE(1)NAME
merge - three-way file merge
SYNOPSIS
merge [ options ] file1 file2 file3
DESCRIPTION
merge incorporates all changes that lead from file2 to file3 into file1. The result ordinarily goes into file1. merge is useful for com-
bining separate changes to an original. Suppose file2 is the original, and both file1 and file3 are modifications of file2. Then merge
combines both changes.
A conflict occurs if both file1 and file3 have changes in a common segment of lines. If a conflict is found, merge normally outputs a
warning and brackets the conflict with <<<<<<< and >>>>>>> lines. A typical conflict will look like this:
<<<<<<< file A
lines in file A
=======
lines in file B
>>>>>>> file B
If there are conflicts, the user should edit the result and delete one of the alternatives.
OPTIONS -A Output conflicts using the -A style of diff3(1), if supported by diff3. This merges all changes leading from file2 to file3 into
file1, and generates the most verbose output.
-E, -e These options specify conflict styles that generate less information than -A. See diff3(1) for details. The default is -E. With
-e, merge does not warn about conflicts.
-L label
This option may be given up to three times, and specifies labels to be used in place of the corresponding file names in conflict
reports. That is, merge -L x -L y -L z a b c generates output that looks like it came from files x, y and z instead of from files
a, b and c.
-p Send results to standard output instead of overwriting file1.
-q Quiet; do not warn about conflicts. -V Print 's version number.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 for no conflicts, 1 for some conflicts, 2 for trouble.

BUGS
It normally does not make sense to merge binary files as if they were text, but merge tries to do it anyway.
