| Description: |
| I have 2 text files they both contain the same words: one word per line but broken down into separated values (file1=sounds and file2=letter combinations) So for each line in file 1 and 2 I want to check that there are equal number of separated values . ie if file1 line 1 has 5 separated values then file2 MUST have 5 values also otherwise append "FIXME-" on file2 |
| Input Sample: |
| file1.txt garage,g,a,r,a,ge,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [ e.g this has 5 separated values g a r a ge ] garaged,g,a,r,a,ge,d,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, garageman,g,a,r,a,ge,m,a,n,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, file2.txt garage,g,a,r,j,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, [ e.g this has only 4 separated values g a r ge but should have 5 ] garaged,g,u,r,o,zh,d,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, garageman,g,u,r,o,zh,m,a,n,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
| Output Sample: |
| file2.txt FIXME-garage,g,a,r,j,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, garaged,g,u,r,o,zh,d,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, garageman,g,u,r,o,zh,m,a,n,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
