• How to compare two files in Windows 7 prof 64 bit

  I have two files which has several files. I would like to compare the two files and see which folder has more files, and what are their names? How I do that in Windows 7 prof 64 bit? Is useful that I can download?

  Hey dude-

  Here's the right way to do without external downloads.  It looks like a lot at first, but once you have done so, it is very easy.  It works in all versions of Windows 7 to 95.  For our example, let's assume you're to compare two directories named 'A' and 'B '.

  1. run cmd.exe to get a command prompt.  (In Windows 7, the powershell will not work for this, FYI.)  Then do it again, so that you have two of them opened next to each other.

  2. in each window go into the directories you want to compare.  (With the help of the 'cd' command.  If you're not comfortable with that, then you should probably go with the external utilities, except if you want to learn the tricks of the command prompt.)

  3. type ' dir/b > A.txt' in one window and "dir/b > B.txt' in the other."  Now you have two text files that list the contents of each directory.  The flag/b means stripped, which removes the list down to only the names of files directories.

  4. move is the same folder as A.txt B.txt.

  5. Type "CF A.txt B.txt".  The command "CF" means file to compare.  It will spit out a list of the differences between the two files, with an additional line of text above and below each difference, so that you know where they are.  For more options on the way in which the output is in the format, type ' fc /? "at the command prompt.  You can also pipe the differences in another file using something like ' CF A.txt B.txt > differences.txt'.

  Hi sindres79946597,

  Open Acrobat Reader DC, navigate to the Edit-> Preferences-> General-> uncheck "Open Documents in the new tab in the same window.

  Now, reboot your system, when you open multiple PDFs that all will open in a new window so that you can easily compare.

• How to read two files (one updates every second, the other is constant) simoltaneously

  Dear all,

  I'd appreciate if someone help me.

  I want to read two files, one is the temperature that updates every second, and the other is energy hysteresis that has specific lines and is constant.

  I had a program in the discussion forum to read a file as it is updated. I checked this program in my case and it works.

  Then I added playback file hysteresis energy to the existing file. But while I run the program, the energy hysteresis file is read with all the lines.

  But the goal is that every time the updates of the temperature, I need to read a line of the file hysteresis energy.

  in this way every second, so, I have a new temperature data and a row of the other file.

  I tried to use 'for loop' inside the program, but it did not work, because the temperature reading will stop until that end of the loop.

  I joined the program.

  Could someone help me how read only a row of hysteresis energy file every time that the temperature updated?

  IS that what you wanted to achieve?

  My only concern is the result of this sql. East - reliable? It can really be used to differentiate the two lines? I mean, the result would be the same, as I do with Java?

  Not sure what you mean by "reliable"? SQL is not some kind of generator of random result (by derogation from the use of the DBMS_RANDOM package). If you ask him if 1 + 1 = 2, then it will always give you the right answer.

• display zip files... what should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

  Sir ihave downloaded songs on the internet that is downloaded as a zip file format... and I have change the path of the zip opening and is open with internet explore form.and, now when I open my file zip my scenn begin to blink heavlyy after that I have to do my computer turn off or restart...

  What should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

  Please help me...

  You must extract the files zip first and then open it with a program that can open that particular file type.  So in this case, even if you use Internet Explorer to download files, you must use Vista to extract to the desktop (downloads or music where ever you choose) by right-clicking on the download, unzip the folder and create a new folder with the decompressed files and then you can use WMP or any program you use to play the songs.  But it does not work because of the changes that you did - but we can fix that easily enough.  It happens quite often with many different programs (ZIP especialliy because a lot of people care less about the ZIP of Vista program and cause problems in trying to change).  I suggest that you pay attention to what we're about to do what it will be probably useful more than once to you later for other types of files (I use it often, but I use it often when I install a new program and do not have default values, he created).  Although the first procedure is for most of the types of special system files and so generally used only for repairs (with the exception of ZIP), the second (if you actually need to use it) works with all other types of files.  I recommend that you create a new folder in the Favorites, called "File Association Changes" and add these links so that they will be easy to find if you need again.

  Here, the first thing we need to do is Zip file association fix it back to Vista of Internet Explorer.  Go to:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to ZIP and then click or double-click on it to run the program that will reset the association back to its default values.  If you don't like the Vista Zip program, I recommend trying 7 - Zip free but excellent:http://www.7-zip.org/.  If you wish, set as the default zip file by using the following:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/20/how-to-edit-or-change-file-type-or-extension-associations-default-programs-in-windows-vista/.  If you wish, you can add send to 7 - Zip to the right-click context menu as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67599-send-context-menu.html.

  Once, when you find a zipped song you want, download it to the desktop or wherever you choose and use the 7-Zip program (depending on what you set as the default value) is the Vista to unzip the file, and then save the decompressed everywhere song where please.  You will now be able to play with any player you who manages songs with this type of file (if you click twice on the song, it should open the default program and start playing automatically).  Now you can do what you want with the original zip file you have now the actual file - you can save it if you want (although I don't see why you need to do when you have the actual file) or you can simply remove as needed.

  That's all. The problem should be solved and you must use the program ZIP Vista or 7 - Zip to unzip all zipped files or folders (downloaded or received as attachments to emails, or transferred by a flashdrive or however obtained).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions?

  How to use windows search to search the contents of a bunch of files with random names / extensions? Plain txt files say 1,000 with random name of file extensions?

  You can always search within those, but you need to add extensions to the file system so that it knows to look inside these files.  You said that you have a lot, so it's perhaps tedious.  Here's How to search within several types of files.

  One thing you could try is rather to make a copy of this file, rename all the files to the same extension (even an extension false for example something.bill) and perform your search on this band.  Just an idea.

• When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the content inside

  Original title: DVD RW drive

  I'm having a problem with my computer toshiba M645. When I insert my recovery disk its Blanck, but if I used the same disc in another computer I can see the contents inside. I try inserting the disk dvd movies and it will play normally. Please give me help with this problem because I want to get my phone to the sound out of the box state. Thank you.

  Hello

  The drive came with the laptop or you did it yourself in the recovery Partition?

  And you're supposed to boot from the recovery disc to start the recovery process.

  You change the Boot order to make the CD/DVD drive first in the boot order. Then, you start from the disc.

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  And as a way to re - install with most of the Toshibas, you press 0 (zero) to start to start the process of recovery back to settings factory (new State) of the recovery Partition.

  See you soon.
