Copy this formula in cell C2 of Sheet2 (and then drag it down to the cells below):
=INDEX($Sheet1.A$2:B$3001;MATCH(A2;$Sheet1.A$2:A$3001;0);2)

This formula assumes that there is a maximum of 3000 different products in Sheet1 (starting at cell A2).

Sample file:compare_four_columns.ods

The following perl scripts index *.txt in the current folder and search for “TEST”. The first one is using Perl’s KinoSearch module and the other one is using Plucene. KinoSearch is alot faster then Plucene and also gives better results.

“ReNamer is a very powerful and flexible file renaming tool, which offers all the standard renaming procedures, including prefixes, suffixes, replacements, case changes, as well as removing contents of brackets, adding number sequences, changing file extensions, etc. For advanced users, there is a PascalScript rule, which let users program their very own renaming rule. Program allows you to combine multiple renaming actions as a rule set, applying each action in a logical sequence, which can be saved, loaded, and managed within the program. In addition, it has an ability to rename folders, process regular expressions, Unicode capable, and supports variety of meta tags, such as: ID3v1, ID3v2, EXIF, OLE, AVI, MD5, CRC32, and SHA1.”

You can fix this problem following these instructions:

First, you must Rollback to PDFCreator 0.9.3 (unless a newer version then 0.9.5 is out).

Find the PDFCreator printer in the Printer and Faxes control panel. Right-click on it and select Properties:

Select the Advanced tab:

and select Print directly to the printer (this prevents spooling the PDF output to the disk twice). Now select the Device Settings tab:

and set Send CTRL-D After Each Job to No. Also change the Wait Timeout to 1 seconds:

Thanks to David Taft, Brent Powers and http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~henrik/GSWriter/GSWriter.html.

PS: If PDFCreator truncates, trims or cuts filenames, make sure the path is not too deep. Try copying your files to the root folder and see if it fixes the problem.

Note: I re-posted this solution with different keywords because I had a hard time finding it because it was specific to GhostScript/Redmon.

The following variables need to be set to “0″:
PUBLISHCOLLATE = 0
BACKGROUNDPLOT = 0

In Sheet Set Publish Options, change the general DWF options “TYPE”
from Multi-Sheet DWF to Single-Sheet DWF.

Features

• Create custom data, audio and mixed-mode
  projects and record them to physical discs as well as disc
  images.
• Supports recording to dual-layer DVDs.

• Blank (erase) rewritable discs using four
  different methods.
• Record disc images (ISO and BIN/CUE).
  
• Fixate discs (write lead-out information to
  prevent further data from being added to the disc).
• Scan the SCSI/IDE bus for devices and collect information
  about their capabilities.
  
• Create disc copies, on the fly and using a
  temporary disc image.
• Import session data from multi-session discs and
  add more sessions to them.
• Display disc information.
• Save audio and data tracks to files (.wav, .wma,
  .ogg, .mp3 and .iso).

Then, to be able to record both the microphone input and the sound card output at the same time using Audacity, you have to un-mute the microphone playback in the Volume control.

1. Double click the speaker in the System Tray
2. Click Options – Properties – Playback – Check Microphone – Click OK
3. Un-check the microphones mute and raise the volume

You should now be able to hear yourself in the speakers or earphone when you talk in the microphone and also be able to record the output (person you called) and the input (you) in Audacity. Select Stereo Mix on Audacity’s Mixer Toolbar and hit Record.

I had to use the registry to reset the double-click action to it’s default value because when I added the Command Prompt to the context menu using Windows Explorer, it changed the default action and explore was not available as an option. Here’s how to add actions to files/folders right-click menu using Windows Explorer Options:

In Windows Explorer: Tools - Folder Options - File Types - (NONE) File Folder - Advanced - New - Action:Command Prompt, Application:cmd.exe

This procedure was tested on Windows XP.

• Right click on command prompt shortcut and choose properties
• Change the Target to:
  • %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /K cd ..\..
• Click OK and your shortcut is ready.

Note: type “cmd /?” in a command prompt to see all options

   • Tutorial by examples
2. Ghostscript Download

Note: Once Ghostscript is installed, you might need to add it to your PATH environment variable. To do this in Windows, go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced, Environment Variables. Then click “path” variable in System Variables and choose edit. Add Ghostscript’s bin path (ie: ;”c:\program files\gs856\gs8.56\bin”). All paths are semi-colon separated.

Then go to the directory your images are located using command prompt (Windows) or shell (Linux) and type a command like this:

mogrify -rotate 90 -scale 15% -format jpg *.PDF

This command rotates the PDF 90 degrees clockwise, scale it down to 15% of it’s original size and convert it to JPG (great for thumbnails).

WARNING: mogrify can overwrite your original images if you keep the same format, create a backup before pocessing them. See Mogrify Documentation.

Disclaimer: I didn’t try all possible solutions, some may not work or may break something.. be careful with what you modify..!

• sometimes plugging it in to a different port will work.
• sometimes disconnecting it and reconnecting it will work.

Temp. Solutions (If all else fails)

• Log to the other server and moved the files from there

When can you get this error message ?

• The most common event causing this error seems to be when you are copying large files over a network (small files usually copy fine) or when trying to copy from an internal hard-drive to a
  USB device (another HD, mp3 player, flash drive, etc..).
• Sometimes even a small file is causing the error
• Copy from computer #1 to computer #2 gives the error but can copy without any problem from computer #2 to computer #1.
• If on a second computer I continuously ping the wireless computer even during the exact times the errors occur, I never get a timeout, and never get anything other than normal ping times.
• The wireless connection when trying to copy large files works about 1 in 3 times according to some
• Copy to external PCIMI network card with 8139 Chip Module (to try: upgrade driver)
• Copy from one internal HD to another (no network involved) and the cables are new
• Wireless or Ethernet – connected to the office LAN over PPTP VPN, I can’t copy even a 10 K file.
• Copy files to Server 2000 server and Server 2003 servers from XP machines
• From USB drive to a folder
• Accessing a 2-gig USB hard drive. I have tried it on 2 different computers and I get a semaphore timeout.
• Backup SCSI HDD onto the primary IDE disk.
• SCSI HDD to the primary IDE HDD
• From a removable bay drive to a new 160gb drive
• I changed the wired hub to a 100Mb switch
• My path is no longer than 30 characters long. That goes for each file. Each file ranges between 4G to 14G
• PCMCIA adaptor Not working, USB OK
• two machines are looking at the same network share, and user A creates a file in that share, but user B can’t see it until they refresh the folder. Try to copy between these folders, and the “Path too deep” error occurs

Possible Causes

• copy from NTFS to FAT32
• Also every time explorer would hang if i disconnected failing drive’s usb cable it would come right back instantly under control then i’d try again with same problem coming back after a few seconds of transfer.
• the network trunking connecting the site switches was at fault
• The problem definitely seems to be network related but only triggered using certain files.
• can rule out any bad computer IO because this will happen from- and to various different PC’s
• The failing save showed TCP Checksum errors. Also reported SMB errors, which would be expected it there are errors lower in the stack.
• I swapped it for an 80 conductor cable, and the DMA mode bumped up to Mode 5 (had old 40 conductor and DMA Mode 2)
• hardware failure, corrupted data or too slow connection
• If you ignore, move past the currently offending file, or other some such, the next copy operation seems to happen without a sneeze
• chkdsk /f/r The disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters detected in file 38 of name . OR An Unspecified error occurred.
• Yeah, it was the IDE cable for me, or else the Promise IDE card.
• Replaced the Linksys Wireless router with an old DLink and it works fine.
• Bad HD Cable
• Bad Network cable
• *occurred with a large file copy (linux-kernel.tar 125MB) *does not occur with a tiny 1k file.
• It’s your network. Update your drivers, etc. Could be router issues too but less likely.
• It’s your network layer. Think about it…did you ever get it copying within your own HD?
• Make sure all your BIOS’es are up to date, make sure the HDDs do not have bad sectors on them.
• changes on the network

3. Recommended Cheap Hardware

   Look for a TV Tuner card or USB capture device with composite(RCA) input if you have an analog camera. Get one which uses one of the following chipset (Should be listed in the product’s specifications):

   • ZoneMinder Supported Hardware
   • Gspy Supported Hardware
   • Motion Supported Hardware

   You should be able to find something for about $20 to $30 on the internet.

4. My Setup

   • I have a TV Tuner card with cable, composite and s-video inputs which has an SAA7130 chip (Module SAA7134 from Kernel 2.6.X is
     required)

   I couldn’t get it to work with Zone Minder, but it does work pretty well with Motion. I got it from eBay for $15.

   • I also bought an analog wireless camera with receiver for $30 on eBay (composite output).
   • Motion. It is not a GUI program but it is easily setup from the
     motion.conf file and has many nice features (capture video or pictures on motion detection for example).
   • I use Slackware on a P-III 1Ghz (I get about 5 frame per second while motion is detected)

You could also use a webcam like the one listed below, which features infrared lights for improved night vision (and it is USB so don’t need any special hardware for composite input).
