I have a file named file.txt with the following contents
Code:
19 man
24 house
44 dyam
90 random
I want to read the file into array and store each line in each index. I've tried using the following code.
Code:
dataarray=($( < file.txt ))
It stores each word in each index rather than each line in each index.
I have to read a couple of numbers from a random.txt file. In this .txt file there are random numbers. They are separated by a space. Example if you opened test.txt:
test.txt :1 6 1 3 6 8 10 2 4
I would like to read those numbers using CAT and store them into an array:
numlen=${#num[*]} - (must be like this because it is a part of a larger program)
I am trying to do this:
1. Read csv delimited file line1 and store all values in array
2. Use the values stored in the array and replace values in other text file with them
3. read line2 in the cvs file and repeat the process
4. Do above for all lines in the cvs file
for example:
file1.cvs content:
text1,text2,text3,"text 4"
a1,a2,3,"a 4"
file.txt content:
some text $array1$ some text
some text $array2$ some text
1. read line 1 - text1,text2,text3,"text 4" put each value in array X[] lines that contain spaces in cvs will have double quotes
2. read x[1] and replace value $array1$ (in file.txt) with x[1]read x[2] and replace value $array2$ (in file.txt) with x[2] and so on
Can above be accomplished in BASH and how?
I would like to read unix file permissions into a bash array for processing but tbh I have no idea how to do this. Then I will check for each individual access right l, d, x etc.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a bash script where I read a text file (containing a column of numbers) and store each line in an array. There seem to be some problems with the whole thing however, but only for some files and not others. Here's what I do:

file=time_notOk.txt ### The file with a column of numbers
i=0 ### Array counter

I know that cat can output the file, but how do you store that output in a variable to process:
Code:
CONTENT=cat file.txt
This doesn't seem to work?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two files of data with different numbers of columns and rows. I want to read this two files in two arrays and then compare for example the second column of first data file with the third column of the other text file and if the difference between of two numbers is less than a threshold then the program print the information in the rows which fulfill this condition in the third text file. I have written below program but the problem is that it does not go through all rows of second file.
declare -a a
declare -a b
r=` awk '{n++} END {print n}' second.txt `
echo $r
awk '

Actually I have two data files one of them contains 44406 and the other one has 12066 rows and I want to check whether the difference between the components of two specific columns is less than a threshod but I have simplified it here. I had written this code and then I have realized that this code just goes through the number of rows as the same as the first.txt file and ignores the rest. I could not find the problem yet.
I have an array called arrayini which stores numbers. I want to take log to the base 2 of each of the numbers in that array and put it in file called result. I've used the following code to do it.
Code:
size=${#arrayini[@]}
for ((i=0;i<size;i++))
do
echo "scale = 12; l(${arrayini[$i]})/l(2)" | bc -l
done >result
It works fine but its taking pretty long to calculate since I've got about 230,000 items in the array. So I decided to store the result into an array hoping that it'd be faster. I tried the following code. arrayresult is where I try and store the result. The code doesn't work because of the second last line.
Code:
unset arrayresult
size=${#arrayini[@]}
for ((i=0;i<size;i++))
do
arrayresult[$i]="scale = 12; l(${arrayini[$i]})/l(2)" | bc -l
done >FILE2
There is a syntax error clearly.

how to program in bash, an i have a problem, i am trying compare values in between 2 values (from another file), so far my solution is to make a nested for loop, but that causes it to compare every value. Here is a visulization of what i want
file.a 2,3,4,5
file.b
3 5
[code]...
i want the values 2, 3, 4, 5 from file.a to be compared inbetween values 3 5, 6 9,1 2, 4 7 from file.b (var1 is the value im comparing, var2 is the less value, var 3 is the greater value)
for i in $var1
do
for k in $var2
do
[code]....
my problem with the above code is it compares EVERYINNG, not the values inbetween what i want (which is 3 5, 6 9 etc).
I don't understand the results of a simple performance test I ran using two basic scripts (running on a high end server):
perfVar.zsh :
#!/bin/zsh -f
MYVAR=`cat $1`
for i in {1..10}
[code]...
Performance test result:
> time ./perfVar.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfVar.zsh FE > /dev/null 6.86s user 0.32s system 100% cpu 7.177 total
> time ./perfCat.zsh BigTextFile > /dev/null
./perfCat.zsh FE > /dev/null 0.01s user 0.10s system 91% cpu 0.118 total
I would have thought that accessing a VARIABLE was way faster than reading a FILE on the file system... Why this result ?Is there a way to optimize the perfCat.zsh script by reducing the number of accesses to the file system ?

I am trying to execute a .c program of mine through bash... Problem is it takes two arguments (files) and am trying to use "for" loops to do it. I use the for loops to take the files (same number in both directories) and put them into arrays. I use the command "ls -1" in the "for loop" so they are sorted in such a way that they are in the same time and date order upon when the program is executed.
Here is the code:
Code:
for a in `ls -1 /analyses/data1/*_prt.txt`;
do echo $a;
done
[code]....
HOWEVER, $a in this case does not change with the loop. Thus, the program doesn't work. I then tried:
Code:
for a in `ls -1 /analyses/data1/*_prt.txt`;
for sfc in `ls -1 /analyses/data2/*_ht.txt`;
do
./plot_data $a $b >> log_file.log;
done
But that produces the error: syntax error near unexpected token `for'. As a "do" statement must come after the for loop call.

I'm writing a bash script that executes a few perl scripts. One of the perl scripts that I need to execute requires two arguments with it. The arguments are stored in a txt file, each line contains a hostname and its corresponding IP address separated by a ":" (colon), the txt file looks like this below:
[Code]...
I'm not sure if it's the best way to accomplish this but here it goes. In the bash file, let's call it getHosts.sh, I create an array and assign each line of the file to an element in that array. I then think I need to create a new array where I take the hostname (which is before the ":") separate it from its IP address and place the IP address on a new line just below the hostname (this way I can reference to it like $hostNames[$x] would be the hostname, and $hostNames[$x+1] would be its IP address). So the new array would now look like this below:
