Match and consolidate on similar files.

1 New Member
Greetings, everyone:

I am working on a script that needs to sort some file that are similar as follows:

ao0122_1.pdf bp8762_1.pdf cx0123_1.pdf du0001_1.pdf
ao0122_2.pdf bp8762_2.pdf cx0123_2.pdf
ao0122_3.pdf bp8762_3.pdf
bp8762_4.pdf
bp8762_5.pdf

And, so on. I couldn't recall an algorithm that would allow me to indenpendently group all ao0122_*.pdf separately from bp8762_*.pdf, and so on. Any help would be appriecated.

What have you tried so far? Did you want to group ao0122_*.pdf separately from bp8762_*.pdf and then sort them? Or just group them?

Over the last few years I have converted from Perl and Scheme to Python. There one task that I do often that is really slick in Perl but escapes me in Python. I read in a text line from a file and check it against several regular expressions and do something once I find a match. For example, in perl ... if ($line =~ /struct {/) { do something } elsif ($line =~ /typedef struct {/) { do something else

The output does include the user ID reference and the date prepared, but as a query has no header, the information is...

Hello, I have a simple AJAX-enabled (RC 1.0) web site. Runs perfectly on my local machine (debugged by VS IDE). The problem is that on remote ("prodction") machine, every "satellite" file - JS, GIF etc. gets downloaded every time. I see it using HttpWatch (a tool similar to Fiddler). Locally, the client appropriately sends If-None-Match header so the server returns 304 Not Modified as needed. But accessing the remote version, the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
