Judge whether two csv files have same content

 

Here are one source csv file and two target csv files. Between them the orders of their columns may be different and orders of row values could also be different:

source.csv

target1.csv

target2.csv

a,b,c

1,2,3

4,5,6

10,11,12

a,c,b

1,3,2

10,12,11

4,6,5

a,c,b

1,2,3

10,12,11

4,6,5

We want to use Java to judge whether the source csv file and the target csv files have same content. For the source file and one of the two files whose original columns orders are different, after they are adjusted to have the same order, if the sets made up of their rows respectively are equal, they have the same content. In the above files, source.csv and target1.csv have same content, but source.csv and target2.csv do not have the same content.

SPL code:

A

B

1

=file(arg_source).import@cw()

=file(arg_target).import@cw()

2

=B1(1).align@p(A1(1))

=B1.(~.m(A2))

3

=A1.eq(B2)

import@cw function parses a file according to the comma separator and reads it as a sequence of sequences. align()function aligns a sequence according to the order of a specified sequence and returns ordinal numbers of members in the specified sequence. Symbol ~ represents the current member in the loop; m() function gets value of a member by its ordinal number. eq() function judges whether members of two sequences are equal.
