Sort Lines acording to another document?

[Jacob Wiqvist]

@Terry-R

Sor of.

I wan’t to sort lines that are named the same as another file that have the same names but not the same numbers after the name.

I can’t be more clear than this I think.

After that I can run the Compare or ComparePlus and see what numbers that differs

So is your intention to sort one file the same as another file so you can use the Compare plugin to identify lines/numbers that are missing. Because if that is the real reason, there is very likely a better way of achieving that.

Terry

No the line number are not interesting at all, only the parameter after the “line description.

But I any way want the lines in one file match another file.

@Jacob-Wiqvist

I tried to apply this:
menu option Edit -> Line operations -> Sort lines lexicographically

To bothe files and then apply compare.

But this did not work as desired.

The best thing is if I could sort the lines the same as the second document, and select how many letters that should match in the line to move it or something.

Maybe I am thinking wrong, how to do it.

Can you show an example of that “not working as desired”?

It may be that there’s an option on the Compare Plus plugin you can change (or maybe a feature that exists in Compare Plus that didn’t exist in the original Compare plugin – I know the Compare Plus is better at aligning things than the original Compare was)

file1:

six = 6
four = 4
two = 2
seven = 7
eight = 8

file2:

one = 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.125 + 0.0625 + ...
two = 4^0.5

four = two + two

six = (sticks =~ s/t|(cks)/(?1x)/)
seven = sqrt(fortynine)
thirtysix = six squared

sorted and compared:

That highlights the exact differences as I would expect. (And that’s with the old Compare plugin) (Okay, technically, I sorted then “removed blank lines” in both files)

That is what I wan’t to do automatically!

If Ther is a program, app , plugin, webpage or anything that can do that I am interested.

There is no plugin that will save you those four menu operations into one. However, I think you can record a macro to do it (on my phone, so cannot test it for you). But sort, remove blank lines, and I believe toggle active view are all macro recordable

What four menu options?

Did I miss something?

I had hoped that my image headers saying “sorted”, and then my later paragraph saying “I sorted then ‘‘removed blank lines’’ in both files” would have communicated that. But to be more explicit:

The steps I took in my screenshots on Saturday were:

1. Put file1 in view 1 and file2 in view 2; have File 1 active
2. Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lexicographically Ascending
3. Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines
4. Use F8 (View > Focus on Another View) to make file2 active
5. Edit > Line Operations > Sort Lexicographically Ascending
6. Edit > Line Operations > Remove Empty Lines
7. Plugins > Compare (or Compare Plus) > Compare

The “four menu options” I meant were steps 2,3, 5,6.

When I tried it out today (now that I’m back on a PC), I found that the View>Focus (F8) is not macro-recordable, though it is macro-playable. I also found that ComparePlus wanted a blank line at the start of both to help it align (even though the older Compare didn’t), so I’ll include it below:

The following macro will Sort the active view, Remove Blank Lines in the active view, then add a single blank line to the beginning of that view. Then it will toggle views. Then it will do those three steps on the second view. Once there, it should be ready for you to use Plugins > Compare Plus > Compare.

        </Macro>

1. Open %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml
2. Paste in the macro into the <Macros> section
3. Save shortcuts.xml
4. Completely exit Notepad++
5. Run Notepad++

From now on, Macros > SortAndTrimBothViews will be in your macros menu (and you can use Macro > Modify Shortcut/Delete Macro to add a keyboard shortcut to that macro, if you want). So then the steps for you would be

1. Put file1 in view 1 (left)
2. Put file2 in view 2 (right)
3. Run Macros > SortAndTrimBothViews
4. Run Plugins > Compare Plus > Compare

They are totaly diferent but at the same time the same type of parameters.

I changed the parameters, copied wrong. It is only a few lines of about 400 lines.

Just how in the world do you expect to sort model1 according to the order in model2 if model2 and model1 contain no parameters that are the same?

Sorry, I cannot help you. Maybe someone else can.

[PeterJones]

@Jacob-Wiqvist ,

It is considered rude to edit a post after you have received a reply. Because your data now does match, it makes it look like I was wrong when I said your data doesn’t match; but two hours ago, it didn’t match. Now it does.

-----

If I take the first half of your edited post, and sort it as file1 on the left, and the second half of your edited post, and sort it as file2 on the right, then run ComparePlus > Compare, it properly lines things up. The same would have happened if you used my macro.
