Here you find a brief specification of the big variety of possibilities |
|
|
you will have by using ASCII Key. |
|
|
ASCII Key is a
utility using unformatted text
files (ASCII- or other character
sets). It uses the platform "EXCEL© 97 / 2000
". The main focus of the program is "comparing
the contents of two text files", "identifying
duplicate records" and "filter".
These features always refer to the "key columns", which can be
determined using a special function before starting the program. More features: Join: Copy selected columns from one file to another in
case of identical keys Extraction of
columns: Cut out selected columns of a text file Merge / Sort: Merge 2 text files, sort according to the
concatenated key. For each file the key maybe placed at different columns. Split: Split a text file into several smaller files by
counting the lines, extract lines without previous loading into an editor
(very fast), split a file according to its key columns Statistics: Counting the occurrences of words in text files
(giving the number for each different word) All functions maybe extended by repetition (input =
output, e.g. searching common keys in several files). For an easy start of
the program you may save all parameters as well as the paths of all input and
output files in a "variant" (only in
registered version). It is possible
to store your variants in a separate Excel file so that when substituting the
ASCII Key file (e.g. by a new
version) all your saved settings are preserved. There is no general restriction concerning the number of lines ASCII Key
is able to process. This number only depends on the features of your
computer, especially on the RAM size. All text elements of the program maybe shown in English
or German . The download ZIP archive includes a detailed help file with many screen shots. |
