I have only one requirement. I need to read PDF page size and determine if page is not bigger then 17x17 inches to not send it to some external service which rejects such pdfs.
Is there any free library working on .NET Core? I wasn't able to find it. Or maybe anyone implemented this by reading binary file?
A pdf does not HAVE TO declare page size externally since every page can be a different size thus 100 pages may be 100 different page sizes.
However many PDF will contain a text entry for one or more pages so you can (depending on construction) parse as text for /MediaBox and or potentially /CropBox dimensions.
So the first PDF example I pick on and open to search for /MediaBox in WordPad tells me its 210 mm x 297 mm (i.e my local A4) /MediaBox [0 0 594.95996 841.91998] and for a 3 page file all 3 entries are the same.
you can try that using command line as
type "filename.pdf" | find /i "/media"
but may not work in all cases so a bigger chance of result (but more chaff) is
type "filename.pdf" | findstr /i "^/media ^/crop"
The value is based on the default number of point size units per inch (so can be divided by 72 as a rough guide), however, thats not your aim since you know you dont want more that 17x72=1224.
So in simple terms, if either value was over 1224 then I could reject as "TOO BIG".
HOWEVER I need to also consider those two 0 values, thus if one was +100 then the limit becomes 100 more and more importantly, if one was -100 then your desired 17" restriction will fail at 1124.
So you can write in any method or language (even CMD) a simple test, however, that will require too much expanding to cover all cases, SO:-
Seriously I would use / shell a one line command tool like xpdf/poppler pdfinfo to parse all different types of PDF and then grep that output.
The output is similar for both with many lines but for your need
xpdf\pdfinfo -box filename
gives Page size: 594.96 x 841.92 pts (A4) (rotated 0 degrees)
and
poppler\pdfinfo -box filename
gives Page size: 594.96 x 841.92 pts (A4)
Thus to check the file does not exceed 17" (in either direction) it should be easy to set a comparison testing that both values are under 1224.01

I need to do exactly the graph that has been made on this page (the second one)
http://www.animatedgraphs.co.uk/line.html
Here is my actual code :
timemax<-151737 # number of frames (and observations - so no interpolation needed)
setwd("C:/Users/victo/Downloads/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/bin/")
vis<-100 # how many time points are on the screen at one time
gdata<-data.frame('Temps'= data$time,'RH_Xacc'= data$RH_Xacc)
gname<-paste("g",1:timemax,".tif", sep="") # holds the names of the picture files
right<-(((1:timemax)<=vis)*100)+(((1:timemax)>vis)*1:timemax) # rightmost time on screen
left<- right-vis+2 # leftmost time on screen
leftlab<-200*ceiling((left-1)/200) # leftmost x label
rightlab<-200*floor(right/200) # rightmost x label
# draw graphs
for (i in 1:timemax) {
tiff(gname[i],width=480)
plot(gdata$Temps[right[i]:left[i]],gdata$RH_Xacc[right[i]:left[i]],col="red",type="l",ylim=c(-100,200),xlim=c(right[i],left[i]),xaxt="n",ylab="",xlab="time")
axis(1,at=seq(from=rightlab[i],to=leftlab[i],by=12))
lines(gdata$Temps[right[i]:i],gdata$RH_Xacc[right[i]:i])
dev.off(dev.cur())
}
# call FFMPEG and make the video
shell("C:/Users/victo/Downloads/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe -codecs -i g%d.tif -b:v 2048k gdata.mpg",mustWork=FALSE)
My code seems to work until the shell function. I don't get an error. The code just never stops running. I am not able to get the video with all the data. Can someone tell me where is the problem ? How can I get the video or if there is an other to get the same result ? I've tried the library gganimate but i didn't succeed either... I am doing this in Rstudio and using sweave.
Thanks a lot
Actually, the first thing you should do is probably run the command :
C:/Users/victo/Downloads/ffmpeg/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe -codecs -i g%d.tif -b:v 2048k gdata.mpg directly and not with a calling shell from RStudio. You would have a more verbose output.

Do you have any CPU performance profiling tool ? I suspect that the shell command might take a lot of time to run on your computer since in your example : timemax<-151737 whereas the example has a shorter timemax timemax<-1000
Try your program with a low value of timemax (=1000) and time the execution of the code. I guess you could extrapolate the total time needed to execute multiplying by 150 (I am not an expert of ffmpeg, it might actually be longer)
Good day. The programs function is to take an equipment number (or none), display that number with a description (or all) in alv, and then run IE03 should the user double click on
Program worked fine in client 110, but in 150 a runtime error happens. This morning I tried to make a new program with a shorter name (only lead I had), activated it (window popped up asking me to activate the previous version as well). That didn't work and now the original doesn't work in either.
The program "SAPLSKBH" is terminating because program line is too long, being 78 chars wide which is too much for the internal table "\FUNCTION=K_KKB_FIELDCAT_MERGE\DATA=L_ABAP_SOURCE[]"
It sounds like you are using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY for output, is that correct?
Check you source code; somewhere you have a line that is more than 78 characters. The function K_KKB_FIELDCAT_MERGE takes the source code of your program to produce a structure that corresponds to the table/structure you give it. (In the old days, there was a limit of 78 characters width for a line of ABAP code, and this is an old function module).
You can alternatively build a field catalog yourself in code, rather than use this function.
We've recently moved a website to a new server, and are running into an odd issue where some uploaded images with unicode characters in the filename are giving us a 404 error.
Via ssh/FTP, we can see that the files are definitely there.
For example:
http://sjofasting.no/project/adnoy
none of the images are working:
Code:
<img class='image-display' title='' src='http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ådnøy_1_2.jpg' width='685' height='484'/>
SSH:
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx 836813 Aug 3 16:12 ådnøy_1_2.jpg
What is also strange is that if you navigate to the directory you can even click on the image and it works:
http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/
click on 'ådnøy_1_2.jpg' and it works.
Somehow wordpress is generating
http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/ådnøy_1_2.jpg
and copying from the direct folder browse is generating
http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/a%CC%8Adn%C3%B8y_1_2.jpg
What is going on??
edit:
If I copy the image url from the wordpress source I get:
http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bore-Strand-Hotellg%C3%A5rd-12.jpg
When copied from the apache browser I get:
http://sjofasting.no/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bore-Strand-Hotellga%cc%8ard-12.jpg
What could account for this discrepancy between:
%C3%A5 and %cc%8
??
Unicode normalisation.
0xC3 0xA5 is the UTF-8 encoding for U+00E5 a-with-ring.
0xCC 0x8A is the UTF-8 encoding for U+030A combining ring.
U+0035 is the composed (Normal Form C) way of writing an a-ring; an a letter followed by U+030A is the decomposed (Normal Form D) way of writing it. å vs å - they should look the same, though they may differ slightly depending on font rendering.
Now normally it doesn't really matter which one you've got because sensible filesystems leave them untouched. If you save a file called [char U+00E5].txt (å.txt), it stays called that under Windows and Linux.
Macs, on the other hand, are insane. The filesystem prefers Normal Form D, to the extent that any composed characters you pass into it get converted into decomposed ones. If you put a file in called [char U+00E5].txt and immediately list the directory, you'll find you've actually got a file called a[char U+030A].txt. You can still access the file as [char U+00E5].txt on a Mac because it'll convert that input into Normal Form D too before looking it up, but you cannot recover the same filename in character sequence terms as you put in: it's a lossy conversion.
So if you save your files on a Mac and then transfer to a filesystem where [char U+00E5].txt and a[char U+030A].txt refer to different files, you will get broken links.
Update the pages to point to the Normal Form D versions of the URLs, or re-upload the files from a filesystem that doesn't egregiously mangle Unicode characters.

I'm writing a program that performs several tests on a hardware unit, and logs both the results of each test and the steps taken to perform the test. The trick is that I want the program to log these results to a text file as they become available, so that if the program crashes the results that had been obtained are not lost, and the log can help debug the crash.
For example, assume a program consisting of two tests. If the program has finished the first test and is working on the second, the log file would look like:
Results:
Test 1 Result A: Passed
Test 1 Result B: 1.5 Volts
Log:
Setting up instruments.
Beginning test 1.
[Steps in test 1]
Finished test 1.
Beginning test 2.
[whatever test 2 steps have been completed]
Once the second test has finished, the log file would look like this:
Results:
Test 1 Result A: Passed
Test 1 Result B: 1.5 Volts
Test 2 Result A: Passed
Test 2 Result B: 2.0 Volts
Log:
Setting up instruments.
Beginning test 1.
[Steps in test 1]
Finished test 1.
Beginning test 2.
[Steps in test 2]
Finished test 2.
All tests complete.
How would I go about doing this? I've been looking at the help files for QFile and QTextStream, but I'm not seeing a way to insert text in the middle of existing text. I don't want to create separate files and merge them at the end because I'd end up with separate files in the event of a crash. I also don't want to write the file from scratch every time a change is made because it seems like there should be a faster, more elegant way of doing this.
QFile.readAll will read the entire file into a QByteArray.
On the QByteArray you can then use insert to insert text in the middle,
and then write it back to file again.
Or you could use the classic c style that can modify files in the middle with the help of filepointers.
As #Roku pointed out, there is no built in way to insert data in a file with a rewrite. However if you know the size of the region, i.e., if the text you want to write has a fixed length, then you can write an empty space in the file and replace it later. Check
this discussion in overwriting part of a file.
I ended up going with the "write the file from scratch" method that I mentioned being hesitant about in my question. The benefit of this technique is that it results in a single file, even in the event of a crash since the log and the results are never placed in different files to begin with. Additionally, rewriting the file only happens when adding new results (an infrequent occurrence), whereas updating the log means simply appending text to the file as usual. I'm still a bit surprised that there isn't a way to have the OS insert text into a file for you.
Oh, and for those of you who absolutely must have this functionality as efficiently as possible, the following might be of use:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/17716/Insert-Text-into-Existing-Files-in-C-Without-Temp
You just cannot add more stuff in the middle of a file. I would go with two separate files, another for the results and another for the logs.
I have a very large file (~10 GB) that can be compressed to < 1 GB using gzip. I'm interested in using sort FILE | uniq -c | sort to see how often a single line is repeated, however the 10 GB file is too large to sort and my computer runs out of memory.
Is there a way to compress the file while preserving newlines (or an entirely different method all together) that would reduce the file to a small enough size to sort, yet still leave the file in a condition that's sortable?
Or any other method of finding out / countin how many times each line is repetead inside a large file (a ~10 GB CSV-like file) ?
Thanks for any help!
Are you sure you're running out of the Memory (RAM?) with your sort?
My experience debugging sort problems leads me to believe that you have probably run out of diskspace for sort to create it temporary files. Also recall that diskspace used to sort is usually in /tmp or /var/tmp.
So check out your available disk space with :
df -g
(some systems don't support -g, try -m (megs) -k (kiloB) )
If you have an undersized /tmp partition, do you have another partition with 10-20GB free? If yes, then tell your sort to use that dir with
sort -T /alt/dir
Note that for sort version
sort (GNU coreutils) 5.97
The help says
-T, --temporary-directory=DIR use DIR for temporaries, not $TMPDIR or /tmp;
multiple options specify multiple directories
I'm not sure if this means can combine a bunch of -T=/dr1/ -T=/dr2 ... to get to your 10GB*sortFactor space or not. My experience was that it only used the last dir in the list, so try to use 1 dir that is big enough.
Also, note that you can go to the whatever dir you are using for sort, and you'll see the acctivity of the temporary files used for sorting.
I hope this helps.

There are some possible solutions:
1 - use any text processing language (perl, awk) to extract each line and save the line number and a hash for that line, and then compare the hashes
2 - Can / Want to remove the duplicate lines, leaving just one occurence per file? Could use a script (command) like:
awk '!x[$0]++' oldfile > newfile
3 - Why not split the files but with some criteria? Supposing all your lines begin with letters:
- break your original_file in 20 smaller files: grep "^a*$" original_file > a_file
- sort each small file: a_file, b_file, and so on
- verify the duplicates, count them, do whatever you want.
