Abstract: Disclosed are novel methods and apparatus for reorganizing data in a log file. In an embodiment, a method of reorganizing data in an original log file is disclosed. The method includes: obtaining a data record from the original log file; examining the data record; if the data record includes a single-value entry, inserting the data record in a single-value storage linked list; if the data record includes a multiple-values entry, inserting the data record in a multiple-values linked list; and utilizing data from the multiple-values and single-value linked lists to write data to a new log file.

Abstract: Disclosed are novel methods and apparatus for manipulating and generating a real-time counter in network computing environments. In an embodiment, a method of tracking a defect is disclosed. The method includes providing a defect abstract, the defect abstract including information to identify the defect; identifying a component having the defect; assigning a user to resolve the defect; and assigning a defect number to identify the defect, the defect number obtained by incrementing a counter value stored in a file, the file being accessible by a single user at a time.

Abstract: Provided is a method, a system and a computer product to translate electronic schematic files between computer-aided software design tools. One embodiment of the invention includes converting source files, containing electronic schematic information, into output files. Creating, from the source files, export files that omit a sub-portion of the schematic information, defining omitted data, each of the export files having a file name associated therewith. Appending, to the file name of the export files, data concerning the omitted information to form an appended file name. The export files are converted to the output files retained in the appended file name. The appended name is diminished so as to remove all information therefrom, excepting information corresponding to the omitted information.
