Hi, I'm having the following problem with the unix sdiff command.
for example if I try sdiff <filename 1> <filename 2>
Where filename 1 and filename 2 contain really long pathnames that I need to compare.
The output I get will be 139 characters long which is the default.
But an output of... (0 Replies)
Hello,
I'm using Sdiff to compare 2 files, I've used this before and it works fine
and still does in some cases.
But it seems to trip up when using combinations of alpha-numeric text.
I created two simple files to test and as you can see it seems to trip up
on the "gr55a" text, any ideas ?

Hi all
I have two files which are essentially the same. However the way an exponent is written is different (i.e. in 1 file, a particular number might be written as 1.43230000E+02 whereas in another it might be 1.4323E2).
If I use SDIFF then the program will merely check the ASCII characters... (1 Reply)
Hi All
I have two large (similar) files that have a unique number in the first column...(the trade id) and then a value for that trade in the second column...delimited by "~". Here is a snippet of what the files look like
10030372~-410682.73
10030490~-4052867.73

Hi,
I'm trying to use sdiff by parsing the output of another command instead of the filename:
sdiff <(echo test1) <(echo test2)However, this seems to cause my terminal session to stop working.
If I use it with normal diff it works fine:
~$ diff <(echo test1) <(echo test2)

Hi All,
I have been surfing to get some idea on how to compare same files from two different paths.
one path will have oldfiles directory and another path will have newfiles directory. Each main directories will have sub-directories in them and
each sub-directories inturn will have... (3 Replies)
Hi All,
I have written the shell script which does the following :
a. Reads the *.cnf file content from the specified input folder path
b. Grep's some strings from the *.cnf file and writes the output in result file(*.cnf_result.txt) in output folder
c. Now, if we get new version of... (5 Replies)
Hello guys,
I have a problem. I'm trying to use SDiff with two files which are containing spaces.
My problem is that I want to save the output with > in an extra file.
If I try to use it like this.

ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS -raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
