Thread: Confused over MD5 checksums (Windows vs Linux)

-

i'm confused whole md5 checksum thing.

allow me explain confused about.

have md5 text files i've created in windows , i'm using linux (in case ubuntu 12.04 beta 1) finding cannot check them without being told there formatting error.

use md5sum (in terminal) create new md5 file. when compare other md5 file (that made in windows) see numbers (the md5 checksums) match , formatting same not exact. i'll give example.

have folder 2 files in it. we'll call them filename01.mkv , filename02.jpg example. md5 file made in windows looks example below , md5 file made in linux looks example b below:

code:
example - windows md5  253343b4d39e9e8b337a7db300d5e7dd *filename01.mkv  cd103030ad0dd35ecf0af1d6cc327417 *filename02.jpg    example b - linux md5  253343b4d39e9e8b337a7db300d5e7dd  filename01.mkv  cd103030ad0dd35ecf0af1d6cc327417  filename02.jpg
as can see 2 same other asterisk in front of file names (in windows created md5 file). linux created md5 file doesn't have asterisks. instead there space asterisk be.

said when try use md5sum in linux check md5 made in windows i'm given error (wrong formatting). when try check md5 made in linux using windows error (again due difference in formatting).

there way around formatting difference? right solution see manually edit md5 file remove of asterisks (since of md5 files windows created , yet i'm trying convert myself full time linux via ubuntu means need check these windows created md5 files in linux).

appreciated!

based on http://thestarman.narod.ru/dos/md5progs.html

shouldn't matter, using asterisk supposdly archaic way format md5sum files, on system md5sum doesn't complain abou asterisks being there. perhaps need more up-to-date program md5suming in windows?

how devide circle equal parts reggie,   depending on version, may able use free divide (length) script available here, setting number,   http://park12.wakwak.com/~shp/lc/et/en_aics_script.html   or may (smart guides friends):   1) use polar grid tool right size of circle, 0 concentric dividers , desired number of radial dividers, , ungroup; 2) extend radial dividers; 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.   or may (smart guides friends):   1) create vertical line through top , bottom (or left , right) anchor points line tool; 2) rotate copies @ relevant angles (to half number of cuts division); 3) select circle , use scissors tool @ intersections (smart guides intersect ), may need select remaining parts underway.
