Using eof or end-of-input in ff match? - match

I have a huge data file in the following format:
section 1
data 1
end section
section n # n is a large number > 10000
data n
end section
The marker for the end of each section is the same, "end section". I need to frequently get a section and then another section to the end of the file. I do so in 2 steps:
cat dataFile | perl6 -ne 'my $n=1234; .say if /section \s $n/ ff /end \s section/' > neededPart
cat dataFile | perl6 -ne 'my $n=4321; .say if /section \s $n/ ff *' >> neededPart
This is cumbersome when I have do it many times. I wonder if perl6 has something like end-of-input or eof in match, so that I can just do in one line:
cat dataFile | perl6 -ne '.say if /1234 || 4321/ ff /"end section" || endOfFile/' > neededPart
Using the following does not work:
/1234 || 4321/ ff (/end/ or *)
/1234 || 4321/ ff ($_ ~~ /end/ or *)

You could try to use two ff conditions instead of a single. For example:
perl6 -ne '.say if (/1234/ ff /"end section"/) || (/4321/ ff *)' <dataFile

Print specific lines that have two or more occurrences of a particular character

I have file with some text lines. I need to print lines 3-7 and 11 if it has two "b". I did
sed -n '/b\{2,\}/p' file but it printed lines where "b" occurs two times in a row
You can use
sed -n '3,7{/b[^b]*b/p};11{/b[^b]*b/p}' file
## that is equal to
sed -n '3,7{/b[^b]*b/p};11{//p}' file
Note that b[^b]*b matches b, then any zero or more chars other than b and then a b. The //p in the second part matches the most recent pattern , i.e. it matches the same b[^b]*b regex.
Note you might also use b.*b regex if you want, but the bracket expressions tend to word faster.
See an online demo, tested with sed (GNU sed) 4.7:
s='11bb1
b222b
b n b
ww
ee
bb
rrr
fff
999
10
11 b nnnn bb
www12'
sed -ne '3,7{/b[^b]*b/p};11{/b[^b]*b/p}' <<< "$s"
Output:
b n b
bb
11 b nnnn bb
Only lines 3, 6 and 11 are returned.
Just use awk for simplicity, clarity, portability, maintainability, etc. Using any awk in any shell on every Unix box:
awk '( (3<=NR && NR<=7) || (NR==11) ) && ( gsub(/b/,"&") >= 2 )' file
Notice how if you need to change a range, add a range, add other line numbers, change how many bs there are, add other chars and/or strings to match, add some completely different condition, etc. it's all absolutely clear and trivial.
For example, want to print the line if there's exactly either 13 or 27 bs instead of 2 or more:?
awk '( (3<=NR && NR<=7) || (NR==11) ) && ( gsub(/b/,"&") ~ /^(13|27)$/ )' file
Want to print the line if the line number is between 23 and 59 but isn't 34?
awk '( 23<=NR && NR<=59 && NR!=34 ) && ( gsub(/b/,"&") >= 2 )' file
Try making similar changes to a sed script. I'm not saying you can't force it to happen, but it's not nearly as trivial, clear, portable, etc. as it is using awk.

result splitted with a specific character using ksh

I have several input files looking like this and before loop the processing for all the files i would like to get the 1st column in the same line splitted with || .
Input.txt
aa ,DEC
bb ,CHAR
cc ,CHAR
dd ,DEC
ee ,DEC
ff ,CHAR
gg ,DEC
For my try this is my commands :
cat $1| while read line
do
cle=`echo $line|cut -d"," -f1`
for elem in $cle
do
echo -n "$elem||"
done
fi
done
But the problem I got the || in the end of the output file ;
He is the result I'm looking for in one line :
aa || bb || cc || dd || ee || ff || gg
Probably use Awk instead.
awk -F ',' '{ printf "%s%s", sep, $1; sep = "||"; } END { printf "\n" }' "$1"
If you really wanted to use the shell, you can do pretty much the same thing, but it will typically be both clunkier and slower. Definitely prefer the Awk version for any real system.
sep=''
while IFS=',' read -r cle _; do
printf "%s%s" "$sep" "$cle"
sep="||"
done <"$1"
printf "\n"
Notice the absence of a useless cat and how the read command itself is perfectly able to split on whatever IFS is set to. (Your example looks like maybe you want to split on whitespace instead, which is the default behavior of both Awk and the shell. Drop the -F ',' or remove the IFS=',', respectively.) You obviously don't need a for loop to iterate over a single value, either. And always quote your variables.
If you want a space after the delimiter, set it to "|| " instead of just "||". Your example is not entirely consistent (or maybe the markup here hides some of your formatting).

Can somebody explain this obfuscated perl regexp script?

This code is taken from the HackBack DIY guide to rob banks by Phineas Fisher. It outputs a long text (The Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle). Where does it fetch it? I don't see any alphanumeric characters at all. What is going on here? And what does the -r switch do? It seems undocumented.

EOF
The basic idea of the code you posted is that each alphanumeric character has been replaced by a bitwise operation between two non-alphanumeric characters. For instance,
'`'|'%'
(5th line of the "star" in your code)
Is a bitwise or between backquote and modulo, whose codepoints are respectively 96 and 37, whose "or" is 101, which is the codepoint of the letter "e". The following few lines all print the same thing:
say '`' | '%' ;
say chr( ord('`' | '%') );
say chr( ord('`') | ord('%') );
say chr( 96 | 37 );
say chr( 101 );
say "e"
Your code starts with (ignore whitespaces which don't matter):
'' =~ (
The corresponding closing bracket is 28 lines later:
^'(').'"})')
(C-f this pattern to see it on the web-page; I used my editor's matching parenthesis highlighting to find it)
We can assign everything in between the opening and closing parenthesis to a variable that we can then print:
$x = '(?'
.'{'.(
'`'|'%'
).("\["^
'-').('`'|
'!').("\`"|
',').'"(\\$'
.':=`'.(('`')|
'#').('['^'.').

.('`'|',').('`'|'.').'.'.('`'|'/').('['^')').('`'|"\'").
'.'.('`'|'-').('['^'#').'/'.('['^'(').('`'|('$')).(

'/`)=~'.('['^'(').'|</'.('['^'+').'>|\\'

'\\$:=~'.('['^'(').'/<.*?>//'

.('['^'#').("\`"| ')').('`'|'#').(
'`'|'!').('`'| '.').('`'|'/')
.'..)/'.('[' ^'(').'"})';
print $x;
This will print:
(?{eval"(\$:=`curl -s https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/sdsl-es/`)=~s|</p>|\\n|g;\$:=~s/<.*?>//g;print \$:=~/(SEXTA.*?Mexicano..)/s"})
The remaining of the code is a bunch of assignments into some variables; probably here only to complete the pattern: the end of the star is:
$:="\."^'~';
$~='#'|'(';
$^=')'^'[';
$/='`'|'.';
$,='(';
Which just assigns simple one-character strings to some variables.
Back to the main code:
(?{eval"(\$:=`curl -s https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/sdsl-es/`)=~s|</p>|\\n|g;\$:=~s/<.*?>//g;print \$:=~/(SEXTA.*?Mexicano..)/s"})
This code is inside a regext which is matched against an empty string (don't forget that we had first '' =~ (...)). (?{...}) inside a regex runs the code in the .... With some whitespaces, and removing the string within the eval, this gives us:
# fetch an url from the web using curl _quitely_ (-s)
($: = `curl -s https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/sdsl-es/`)
# replace end of paragraphs with newlines in the HTML fetched
=~ s|</p>|\n|g;
# Remove all HTML tags
$: =~ s/<.*?>//g;
# Print everything between SEXTA and Mexicano (+2 chars)
print $: =~ /(SEXTA.*?Mexicano..)/s
You can automate this unobfuscation process by using B::Deparse: running
perl -MO=Deparse yourcode.pl
Will produce something like:
'' =~ m[(?{eval"(\$:=`curl -s https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/sdsl-es/`)=~s|</p>|\\n|g;\$:=~s/<.*?>//g;print \$:=~/(SEXTA.*?Mexicano..)/s"})];
$: = 'P';
$~ = 'h';
$^ = 'r';
$/ = 'n';
$, = '(';

How to repeat a sequence of numbers to the end of a column?

I have a data file that needs a new column of identifiers from 1 to 5. The final purpose is to split the data into five separate files with no leftover file (split leaves a leftover file).
Data:
aa
bb
cc
dd
ff
nn
ww
tt
pp
with identifier column:
aa 1
bb 2
cc 3
dd 4
ff 5
nn 1
ww 2
tt 3
pp 4
Not sure if this can be done with seq? Afterwards it will be split with:
awk '$2 == 1 {print $0}'
awk '$2 == 2 {print $0}'
awk '$2 == 3 {print $0}'
awk '$2 == 4 {print $0}'
awk '$2 == 5 {print $0}'
Perl to the rescue:
perl -pe 's/$/" " . $. % 5/e' < input > output
Uses 0 instead of 5.
$. is the line number.
% is the modulo operator.
the /e modifier tells the substitution to evaluate the replacement part as code
i.e. end of line ($) is replaced with a space concatenated (.) with the line number modulo 5.
$ awk '{print $0, ((NR-1)%5)+1}' file
aa 1
bb 2
cc 3
dd 4
ff 5
nn 1
ww 2
tt 3
pp 4
No need for that to create 5 separate files of course. All you need is:
awk '{print > ("file_" ((NR-1)%5)+1)}' file
Looks like you're happy with a perl solution that outputs 1-4 then 0 instead of 1-5 so FYI here's the equivalent in awk:
$ awk '{print $0, NR%5}' file
aa 1
bb 2
cc 3
dd 4
ff 0
nn 1
ww 2
tt 3
pp 4
I am going to offer a Perl solution even though it wasn't tagged because Perl is well suited to solve this problem.
If I understand what you want to do, you have a single file that you want to split into 5 separate files based on the position of a line in the data file:
the first line in the data file goes to file 1
the second line in the data file goes to file 2
the third line in the data file goes to file 3
...
since you already have the lines position in the file, you don't really need the identifier column (though you could pursue that solution if you wanted).
Instead you can open 5 filehandles and simply alternate which handle you write to:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $datafilename = shift #ARGV;
# open filehandles and store them in an array
my #fhs;
foreach my $i ( 0 .. 4 ) {
open my $fh, '>', "${datafilename}_$i"
or die "$!";
$fhs[$i] = $fh;
}
# open the datafile
open my $datafile_fh, '<', $datafilename
or die "$!";
my $row_number = 0;
while ( my $datarow = <$datafile_fh> ) {
print { $fhs[$row_number++ % #fhs] } $datarow;
}
# close resources
foreach my $fh ( #fhs ) {
close $fh;
}

Swap two columns - awk, sed, python, perl

I've got data in a large file (280 columns wide, 7 million lines long!) and I need to swap the first two columns. I think I could do this with some kind of awk for loop, to print $2, $1, then a range to the end of the file - but I don't know how to do the range part, and I can't print $2, $1, $3...$280! Most of the column swap answers I've seen here are specific to small files with a manageable number of columns, so I need something that doesn't depend on specifying every column number.
The file is tab delimited:
Affy-id chr 0 pos NA06984 NA06985 NA06986 NA06989
You can do this by swapping values of the first two fields:
awk ' { t = $1; $1 = $2; $2 = t; print; } ' input_file
I tried the answer of perreal with cygwin on a windows system with a tab separated file. It didn't work, because the standard separator is space.
If you encounter the same problem, try this instead:
awk -F $'\t' ' { t = $1; $1 = $2; $2 = t; print; } ' OFS=$'\t' input_file
Incoming separator is defined by -F $'\t' and the seperator for output by OFS=$'\t'.
awk -F $'\t' ' { t = $1; $1 = $2; $2 = t; print; } ' OFS=$'\t' input_file > output_file
Try this more relevant to your question :
awk '{printf("%s\t%s\n", $2, $1)}' inputfile
This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -i 's/^\([^\t]*\t\)\([^\t]*\t\)/\2\1/' file
Have you tried using the cut command? E.g.
cat myhugefile | cut -c10-20,c1-9,c21- > myrearrangedhugefile
This is also easy in perl:
perl -pe 's/^(\S+)\t(\S+)/$2\t$1/;' file > outputfile
You could do this in Perl:
perl -F\\t -nlae 'print join("\t", #F[1,0,2..$#F])' inputfile
The -F specifies the delimiter. In most shells you need to precede a backslash with another to escape it. On some platforms -F automatically implies -n and -a so they can be dropped.
For your problem you wouldn't need to use -l because the last columns appears last in the output. But if in a different situation, if the last column needs to appear between other columns, the newline character must be removed. The -l switch takes care of this.
The "\t" in join can be changed to anything else to produce a different delimiter in the output.
2..$#F specifies a range from 2 until the last column. As you might have guessed, inside the square brackets, you can put any single column or range of columns in the desired order.
No need to call anything else but your shell:
bash> while read col1 col2 rest; do
echo $col2 $col1 $rest
done <input_file
Test:
bash> echo "first second a c d e f g" |
while read col1 col2 rest; do
echo $col2 $col1 $rest
done
second first a b c d e f g
Maybe even with "inlined" Python - as in a Python script within a shell script - but only if you want to do some more scripting with Bash beforehand or afterwards... Otherwise it is unnecessarily complex.
Content of script file process.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# inline Python script
read -r -d '' PYSCR << EOSCR
from __future__ import print_function
import codecs
import sys
encoding = "utf-8"
fn_in = sys.argv[1]
fn_out = sys.argv[2]
# print("Input:", fn_in)
# print("Output:", fn_out)
with codecs.open(fn_in, "r", encoding) as fp_in, \
codecs.open(fn_out, "w", encoding) as fp_out:
for line in fp_in:
# split into two columns and rest
col1, col2, rest = line.split("\t", 2)
# swap columns in output
fp_out.write("{}\t{}\t{}".format(col2, col1, rest))
EOSCR
# ---------------------
# do setup work?
# e. g. list files for processing
# call python script with params
python3 -c "$PYSCR" "$inputfile" "$outputfile"
# do some more processing
# e. g. rename outputfile to inputfile, ...
If you only need to swap the columns for a single file, then you can also just create a single Python script and statically define the filenames. Or just use an answer above.
