Ah, it seems that what you really need is some code with Judgemental Heuristics. Which would scan your ebook files (regardless of format, title errors, etc.) and product a list of duplicate ebook files as output.

but wouldn't be inclined to do so. There would not be much of an incentive for one of their contractors to create such a spin-off product, either. Luck; Ken |

1) take 2 files: A & B 2) convert them to a common format 3) take a random sentence from file A 4) compare this sentence with all of file B 5) if it hits - remove both files, place in dup file list & log results 6) if it doesn't hit - toss file B & grab another one 7) repeat until finished...or xmas arrives ![]() 8) verify and clean the dup file list. ![]() 9) bubble sort the remaining file list. 10) Take rest of the day off. |

I'll bet some of those books you got rid of were more than 16 years old. That's how long ago I was storing files on removable Syquest and tape drives that I tossed out.
I saw on telly that the museum of technology here has electronic data storage devises that aren't too old but they have no way of accessing the data because there are no readers that read it anymore. So I hope you start a backup regime to future proof your collection when you finally get it sorted. |
