Duplicate values in column - perl

Question

I have a original file which has following columns,
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,1000
02-May-2018,C,Sell,0.25,2000
02-May-2018,JPM,Sell,0.25,3000
02-May-2018,WFC,Sell,0.25,5000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,7000
02-May-2018,GOOG,Sell,0.25,8000
02-May-2018,GOOG,Sell,0.25,9000
02-May-2018,C,Sell,0.25,2000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,3000
I am trying to print this original line if I see value in the second column more then 2 times.. for example, if I see AAPL more then 2 times desired result should print
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,1000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,7000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,3000
So Far, I have written the following which prints results multiple times which is wrong.. can you please help on what I am doing wrong?
open (FILE, "<$TMPFILE") or die "Could not open $TMPFILE";
open (OUT, ">$TMPFILE1") or die "Could not open $TMPFILE1";
%count = ();
#symbol = ();
while ($line = <FILE>)
{
chomp $line;
(#data) = split(/,/,$line);
$count{$data[1]}++;
#keys = sort {$count{$a} cmp $count{$b}} keys %count;
for my $key (#keys)
{
if ( $count{$key} > 2 )
{
print "$line\n";
}
}
}

Answer 1

I'd do it something like this - store lines you've seen in a 'buffer' and print them out again if the condition is hit (before continuing to print as you go):
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %buffer;
my %count_of;
while ( my $line = <> ) {
my ( $date, $ticker, #values ) = split /,/, $line;
#increment the count
$count_of{$ticker}++;
if ( $count_of{$ticker} < 3 ) {
#count limit not hit, so stash the current line in the buffer.
$buffer{$ticker} .= $line;
next;
}
#print the buffer if the count has been hit
if ( $count_of{$ticker} == 3 ) {
print $buffer{$ticker};
}
#only gets to here once the limit is hit, so just print normally.
print $line;
}
With your input data, this outputs:
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,1000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,7000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,3000

Answer 2

Simple answer:
push #{ $lines{(split",")[1]} }, $_ while <>;
print #{ $lines{$_} } for grep #{ $lines{$_} } > 2, sort keys %lines;
perl program.pl inputfile > outputfile

Answer 3

You need to read the input file twice, because you don't know the final counts until you get to the end of the file
use strict;
use warnings 'all';
my ($TMPFILE, $TMPFILE1) = qw/ infile outfile /;
my %counts;
{
open my $fh, '<', $TMPFILE or die "Could not open $TMPFILE: $!";
while ( <$fh> ) {
my #fields = split /,/;
++$counts{$fields[1]};
}
}
open my $fh, '<', $TMPFILE or die "Could not open $TMPFILE: $!";
open my $out_fh, '>', $TMPFILE1 or die "Could not open $TMPFILE1: $!";
while ( <$fh> ) {
my #fields = split /,/;
print $out_fh $_ if $counts{$fields[1]} > 2;
}
output
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,1000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,7000
02-May-2018,AAPL,Sell,0.25,3000

Answer 4

This should work:
use strict;
use warnings;
open (FILE, "<$TMPFILE") or die "Could not open $TMPFILE";
open (OUT, ">$TMPFILE1") or die "Could not open $TMPFILE1";
my %data;
while ( my $line = <FILE> ) {
chomp $line;
my #line = split /,/, $line;
push(#{$data{$line[1]}}, $line);
}
foreach my $key (keys %data) {
if(#{$data{$key}} > 2) {
print "$_\n" foreach #{$data{$key}};
}
}
