Subject: Re: How do you sort and remove duplicates lines from a file ?
With the example of Matt it's getting clearer, but
like Scot i never used the <concat> task, like Paul i feel it's
not very intuitive to use.
Personally i would prefer a little <script>, but that's a matter of
taste
reading, sorting and writing to another file =
<script language="ruby">
<![CDATA[
File.open("sorted.txt", "w") do |file|
File.readlines("sort.txt").uniq.sort.each do |line|
file.write(line.chomp<<"\n")
end
end
]]>
</script>
echoing, setting a property =
<script language="ruby">
<![CDATA[
linesarr = File.readlines("sort.txt").uniq.sort.collect {|line|
line.chomp<<"\n"}
puts "Sorted Lines => " + linesarr.to_s
$project.setProperty "sortedfile", linesarr.to_s
]]>
</script>
(chomp and afterwards appending \n again for the case
when there's no linefeed after last line, that would result in
two lines on one after sorting)
Regards, Gilbert
