1. Install and build the File Analyzer (required): Installation instructions
2. Send Terry a quick note confirming that you were able to complete the installs. At the end of the pre-conference session, we will code a custom File Analyzer rule. In your email, indicate your level of experience/comfort programming in Java. This portion of the session will be tailored to the experience of the audience.
3. A Java IDE is recommended for last portion of the pre-conference. If you do not already have a Java IDE available, consider installing the Eclipse Standard Edition: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

• File Analyzer Overview
• Try it yourself
• Demonstration of highly customized File Analyzer Rules
• Your ideas for future customizations
• Coding a File Analyzer rule

• File Analyzer Documentation

User documentation is available at the link listed above.

• User Interface - Search the File System
• User interface - viewing results
• Sorting results
• Filtering results
• Exporting results
• User interface - import records from a file
• User interface - Merging and Comparing Results

Sample data files corresponding to these exercises will be provided at the start of the pre-conference session. Download the exercise test files from GitHub. Extract the contents of the zip file after you download it.

Run "Count Files by Type" on the "01_Flash Drive Inventory" folder.

• Sort the results from highest count to lowest count. What file type occurs most frequently?

Run "Match by Name" on the "01_Flash Drive Inventory" folder. 

• Which file names have been duplicated?
• Remove your open tabs

Run "Match by Base Name"

• on the PDFs folder
• run it again on the Word Docs folder
• Which word document does not have a corresponding PDF?

Remove the tabs from all of your prior tests.

Run "Sort by Checksum" looking only at image files

• on the Checksum Tests folder. 
• run it again on the Checksum Tests2 folder. 
• Which files are not identical between the 2 folders?
• Remove the tab for your test on the Checksum Tests2 folder.
• Export the results from your first "Sort by Checksum" task as a tab-delimited file.  Export only the key and data fields.
• Import your checksum results using "Import Delimited File"
• Use the merge tool to compare your imported file to the results from your checksum test
• No differences should exist

• Sample text: https://www.nga.gov/collection/anA5.htm
• Regex: ^([^,]+), ([^\t]+)\t([^,]+).*(\d\d\d\d).*(\d\d\d\d).*$
• Sample text: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type - save source as text
• Regex: ^.*<code>(.*)</code>:.*$

• http://catalog.data.gov/dataset/public-library-survey-pls-2011 (US Public libraries, 2011)
• Key column 1,2,8

• Image Properties
• Page Count
• Counter compliant report validation
• Output to Bursar processing*
• Invoice processing*
• Identify digital derivatives
• ETD Processing for DSpace ingest

*institution specific solution

• Coding new File Test Rules and new File Import Rules

The project to be implemented will be determined by the interest of the group.
