  • Data file search by example
    Patent number: 7010728
    Abstract: A method of generating reports for data in the form of a multiplicity of data files in an accessible data storage medium uses a user interface to specify a desired report and a sample data file name, the data file names having a variable portion and a non-variable portion. A search algorithm searches the accessible data storage medium for all related data files having the same non-variable portion in their data file names, and logically groups the data files according to the variable portion of their data file names. The related data files are processed according to specified parameters, such as thresholds and limits, and a display is provided of the analysis results, highlighting significant data. The report results with linked data may be stored on an intranet site in an appropriate format to be accessible via a web page using a conventional web browser.
