Unique.exe is a small .Net utility that I wrote to dump only the unique lines of a text file. I found this useful when combining a few lists of user names and needed to retrieve only the unique ones. It additionally sorts the lines (forward and reverse) and outputs to stdout or a file.
I haven’t done any performance tuning (it’s 143 lines long) but I would expect it to work reasonably quickly with all but very large files. (Source and release exe included.)
While I was testing my latest release (1.2) of Vibratium I encountered a puzzling error. It took me a while to track this one down. Hopefully someone else can learn from this.
TL;DR: solution is at the end.
Vibratium worked fine on my dev box, but on my laptop as soon as I added a Render Object the application would crash.
In the Application event log I got Application Error 1005:
“Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program Vibratium because of this error.”
Vibratium 1.1 update is now available.
This is a minor update that adds crosshairs to locate the centers of the render objects and eliminates a couple of extra files. More info and download instructions here –
For any of you coders out there interested in high throughput code in .Net I’ve made available (most of) the library I wrote to wrap the SSE and AVX functions.
