I want to sort a file of text editing

Use: Mac OS X El Captan (10.11.4)

Office of the Registrar the County gave me the voter information on some 200 000 voters in our County.  The information is on two discs. One is in the form of text editing; the other is in CSV format.  Unfortunately, when I open the CSV disc, which is sortable on any field, it includes only info registration for 65 538 voters, is less than 1/3 of the voters.

When I reconnected the CSV disc to the person who gave the information and explained that the CSV disk only displays information for 65 538 voters, she put the drive in his PC, to confirm that she had copied a completeness of the CSV file on the disk. 200 000 voters appeared on his PC!

I have concluded that the CSV file doesn't have to be compatible with the Apple software.  The instructions of the Office of the Registrar explain how to convert the file changing text in the CSV file, using the Windows software.  Unfortunately, I have no Windows software installed on my iMac.  The Office of the Registrar also stated that it had taken 10 hours to create the CSV file.

Is it possible for me to convert the file changing text in a Numbers spreadsheet sortable?

FWIW, I normally do not work with spreadsheets, but test a few large .csv files, numbers seem to have a limit of 64 k lines so convert the file of text editing will not help. On the other hand, LibreOffice seems to have more than 1 million more lines, so you should be able to sort your files in OL.

Someone else may have more information.

  • Random allocation/sorting of files in a folder

    I would like to know how I can rename and sort files in a folder of photos in a totally random order because I want to create a photo essay?

    Thank you very much

    Unfortunately, Vista wants to sort the files in a CERTAIN order and will not retain a random order once you close or change your screen - he'll be back on the agenda by default is.  You can add a new column for headings (say Coments) and once you have the files sorted the way you want, go in this column and name each file in order starting with 1 and ending with what is the last file, and then click the comment header to sort the file in this order.  Then it will work (but if you want to change it, you will have to rename all the files many times).

    Here is some additional information that can help (although I'm not sure that he will do exactly what you want to do because I don't think that this is possible under Vista):

This will show you how to reset the Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

  • Windows Explorer for Windows 7 - How to stop automatically sort my files

    I have Windows 7.  Explorer Windows automatically sorts my files in each folder.  I put in "sort by..." Name ', so for now he is sorting alphabetically, but no matter what I put in 'Grading', it does it automatically.  But I want to be able to move the files to the folder in different orders, and then once I'm satisfied with the order, then I can change the name of each file and then choose to classify them alphabetically or otherwise.

    For example, this is useful for a folder full of photos.  Let's say I have a folder with 50 photos in there of holiday, and I would like to re - order these photos, but I want to play visually with different orders until I have decide to order, I like most.  So I want to move each file/photo until I like the Decree.  To do this, I would open this particular folder in Windows Explorer, then select the "Large icons" view and then moving the photos until I like order.  And then once I have pictures in the order I want, then I would like to rename each picture (1, 2, 3, etc.) and then Windows Explorer say "sort by...» Nu.  That's how it was on my old computer, but I got XP and now I have Windows 7, but I can't imagine that Windows 7 would not let me do the same thing.  But the way it works for me now, Windows Explorer comes automatically orders/sorts my files depending on the option "sort by" I chose.  So if I change the name of the files (from 'Photo #25' to ' Photo #10 "'), it automatically goes this photo between" Photo #09 "and" Photo #11 ".»»  And if I try to move 'Photo #10' next to say "#37 picture"to see how they look next to each other, it won't let me. "

    so... Is it possible to have Windows Explorer "NOT" sort my files until I have to say?

    See auto arrange links below - it is possible to disable.

    Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to turn off the auto arrange. Microsoft's response:

    Can I manually organize files in folders?

    Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

    How to fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane
    See the bottom of this post for help with the bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    The most important features that need to be returned to Windows Explorer:

    (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

    (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with.

    (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

    (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

    (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

    (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

    (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

    (8) the ability to scroll the window/pane mouse is with the mouse wheel, even if this window/pane is not selected.

    Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

    Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

    http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

    Note: do not have the message that is too long, there is a size limit for your message, even if page does not tell you on this subject. Also, do not just copy and paste from the list above - they'll think that the same person is repeatedly submit comments.

    Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

    After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page.

    A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

    (1) install the free classic Shell. It's free, completely customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer, rather than a full blown replacement. Personally, I did not fit the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    (2) restart the computer.
    (3) launch Windows Explorer and turn on "Always show Menus" (it's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you want).
    (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
    5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even go more retro and hit return to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders).
    (6) set the parameters of other institutions. I have so that the bit "more details" in the dialogues of copy is automatically extended, I checked the option "display free space and size of the file in the status bar" (no need to right click on the drive to see how much space is left), personally, I decided to stay with the "overwrite file" dialog box Windows 7 style (the default is the simplest dialogue style Vista/XP) , and I went for the Windows Vista style folders display that looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but get rid of the horrible jump.

    After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.

    Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

  • Some saved HTML files in TEXT ONLY format view

    Hi all

    I kept some HTML pages of the past and many of them display correctly when I open them in one of my five different web browsers, but I saved some HTML pages that don't display correctly, but they get used.  Pages that do not display correctly appear to be display in a kind of "text-only" mode, or something is missing or modified in the HTML files that have been saved.

    Here are examples of how part one of a saved HTML pages will appear, then a sample of how this part of the page displayed when it is not display correctly...

    FIX

    INCORRECT

    This is just a small sample of how the same page can display up correctly or incorrectly.  These two samples come from the same basic HTML page stops, but a single page to record displays properly, and we're the same saved page on a screen doesn't have different time correctly.

    The topper is that some of my old HTML page records always display correctly and some of them do not and records some of my new HTML page display properly, and some of them are not displayed correctly. Not all of the pages I've saved are on this page, but I still have problems with different pages HTML displays do not properly, then some of my stops on the same page do appear correctly.

    I have the latest version of Google Chrome, version 26.0.1410.64, an older version of Internet Explorer 8, an old version of Firefox 5and a semi-new version of Firefox Portable 10, Apple Safari 5.1.7and all these browsers display these pages (the pages that display properly) the same way, in what appears to be a text-only mode or something.

    This, to me, seems to be something that is related to something between a system setting or a missing plugin and which is apparently how my currentGoogle Chrome   and Firefox 5 browsers to save from time to time, since I've only used these two browsers to save the HTML of the page files, but I have problems with both of these browsers stops , and I have files of HTML page of these browsers that display correctly, as they did when they were pages live, originally in these browsers before I saved both.

    But it seems to be random, because as I said, a lot of my latest HTML of page stops have this problem when they display, but also some of my old HTML saved page also have the problem and vice-verse... that is, some of my more recent HTML page saved may not have this problem to display and some of my old HTML page saves are not having this problem or the other.

    The reason why I thought it might have something to do with a plugin or setting of Windows 7 is because when I open one of these files in page HTML problem as does ' t display properly in my old Internet Explorer 8 browser, first of all, it gives me a message that says...

    "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options ".

    But Internet Explorer 8 apparently didn't know that I open this page HTML of a set of HTML files on my hard drive.  Then, when I click on "click here for options... '. ", it gives me an option to 'Allow content blocked'and then I get a message that says...

    "Allowing active content such as script and ActiveX control can be useful. However, active content can also damage your computer. Are you sure want to let this file run active content? "Yes / No".

    Which I select 'Yes' , but it still does not display the page HTML problem file correctly.

    I have a working Active X plugin installed and this isn't one problem on another point on this computer, but for some reason, IE 8 gives me this message.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    NuMetro

    What is more likely is that some media files (files CSS and JS, among others) which relate to the HTML files that you have saved are no longer present.  They can be moved, or in another folder, or perhaps the HTML file itself has been moved and the relative path for the support files is no longer valid.

    If these files exist, you can probably change the HTML files to point to those. Search where it refers to a CSS file, for example and make sure that the file still exists in the location that the HTML file is looking for it in.

    Another possibility is that the HTML file is still referencing the site server for certain files, and the owner of the site has moved these files (or renamed).  In this case, there may be no way to bring your local display in full format.  To tell if this is the case, again look in the HTML file for references to CSS files and see if she is looking on a website to get this file.

    Hello Adobe lovers,

    I want to export a file of 12 pages of text (and several of the images too) in PDF format.

    With a standard configuration, I have received a file with selectable text (103 KB: it's good for me!).

    When I vectorizes the text, my PDF weighs 12 months (too much for me!), but the text is corrected.

    Been to a setting that can solve my problem?

    Thanks much < 3

    Tell them that not to open the file in Illustrator - this isn't a PDF Editor.

    Request that all changes made through you.

    Or find another supplier in China... There must be more than one.

    Anyway - there is no real way to reduce the size of the file after you have created the contours - as it is fundamentally changing the vector shapes of all glyphs.

    I have a few numbers of documents stored as text values that I want to sort in the correct order.

    The ABC may be at the beginning or at the end is okay as long as the figures are correct.

    Is this possible. Thanks for the help.

    It is stored in a MS Access database. I think I knew how to do things in the right order. Since there is an inconsistancy in the naming convention, I came a way to make it consistent. I have 2 columns, 1 with the document ID number and one with just the number of the document (1-17 has 17 for the second column). This way I can fool all initially based on the second column as they are entirely digital and so for the first column of I duplicated in the second column.

    For example, 1 - 17A and 1-17A .i have all two 17 in the second column, but by sorting two columns, the order is correct and 1 - 17A comes before 1-17A .i. For document ID's that do not have a number and a letter such ast 1A, I assing a certain number of 1000A, 1001 for B and so on. In this way they have a number too and will usually appear at the end of the list.
