DPAD: Joining results

[MechEng]

I think I saw somewhere that it is possible to join to result files and then send them.

[EDIT] Whooops, must have hit the wrong key... 😱

How do I do that ??
Do I just open them in Notepad and then copy/paste, after which I send the joined file?

You should use muon monitor from here.

It's also in Overkiller's guide to DPAD here.

it CAN be done that way - but MuonMonitor is ALOT easier

edit:
Beaten by just one minute. :Q 😱

How do I do this the best way?

1. Stop the clients I have running
2. Join the result.txt files from each client to a new result file using Muon Monitor
3. Overwrite one of the existing result files with the joined result file
4. Send the joined result file.


Maybe I'm just slow, but.... I already have one result file appearing to be lost somewhere on a server, and I would really hate to loose another one.

No.

Using MuonMonitor you don't need to stop the clients and waste valueble cpu cycles.
Monitor just creates a default mergedresults.txt and them after joining every file, just
after that you could rename it to results.txt and send. :beer:

OK when I do a dump, this is what I do...

Cut all the results files from the pcs into the same folder, results1, results2...etc
Make a copy of the folder, incase something gets lost.
Run muon monitor, run merge results files, select the results, and merge them.
The original results1...etc stays in the folder.
The merged results file is saved to c:\prog files\muon1\mergeresults.txt...you can change it if you like.
Then just rename to results.txt and send.

You don't have to stop muon, if you created the new results file and wait a while before you send it, muon will just add it's new results to it.

Hope this helps! 😉
