I am dealing with very large amounts of data. Every now and then there is a slip up. I want to identify each row with an error, under a condition of my choice. With that I want the row number along with the line number of each erroneous row. I will be running this script on a handful of files and I will want to output the report to one.
So here is my example data:
File_source,ID,Name,Number,Date,Last_name
1.csv,1,Jim,9876,2014-08-14,Johnson
1.csv,2,Jim,9876,2014-08-14,smith
1.csv,3,Jim,9876,2014-08-14,williams
1.csv,4,Jim,9876,not_a_date,jones
1.csv,5,Jim,9876,2014-08-14,dean
1.csv,6,Jim,9876,2014-08-14,Ruzyck
Desired output:
Row#5,4.csv,4,Jim,9876,not_a_date,jones (this is an erroneous row)
The condition I have chosen is print to output if anything in the date field is not a date.
As you can see, my desired output contains the line number where the error occurred, along with the data itself.
After I have my output that shows the lines within each file that are in error, I want to grab that line from the untouched original CSV file to redo (both modified and original files contain the same amount of rows). After I have a file of these redone rows, I can omit and clean up where needed to prevent interruption of an import.
Folder structure will contain:
Modified: 4.txt
Original: 4.csv
I have something started here, written in Perl, which by the logic will at least return the rows I need. However I believe my syntax is a little off and I do not know how to plug in the other subroutines.
Code:
$count = 1;
while (<>) {
unless ($F[4] =~ /\d+[-]\d+[-]\d+/)
print "Row#" . $count++ . "," . "$_";
}
The code above is supposed to give me my erroneous rows, but to be able to extract them from the originals is beyond me. The above code also contains some syntax errors.
This will do as you ask.
Please be certain that none of the fields in the data can ever contain a comma , otherwise you will need to use Text::CSV to process it instead of just a simple split.
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
use autodie;
open my $fh, '<', 'example.csv';
<$fh>; # Skip header
while (<$fh>) {
my #fields = split /,/;
if( $fields[4] !~ /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/ ) {
print "Row#$.,$_";
}
}
output
Row#5,4.csv,4,Jim,9876,not_a_date,jones
Update
If you want to process a number of files then you need this instead.
The close ARGV at the end of the loop is there so that the line counter $. is reset to
1 at the start of each file. Without it it just continues from 1 upwards across all the files.
You would run this like
rob#Samurai-U:~$ perl findbad.pl *.csv
or you could list the files individually, separated by spaces.
For the test I have created files 1.csv and 2.csv which are identical to your example data except that the first field of each line is the name of the file containing the data.
You may not want the line in the output that announces each file name, in which case you should replace the entire first if block with just next if $. == 1.
use strict;
use warnings;
#ARGV = map { glob qq{"$_"} } #ARGV; # For Windows
while (<>) {
if ($. == 1) {
print "\n\nFile: $ARGV\n\n";
next;
}
my #fields = split /,/;
unless ( $fields[4] =~ /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/ ) {
printf "Row#%d,%s", $., $_;
}
close ARGV if eof ARGV;
}
output
File: 1.csv
Row#5,1.csv,4,Jim,9876,not_a_date,jones
File: 2.csv
Row#5,2.csv,4,Jim,9876,not_a_date,jones
i have multiple csv files, i want to merge all those files.....
i am showing some of my sample csv files below...

now to merge these files i have tried the following code
#ARGV = <merge_csvfiles/*.csv>;
print #ARGV[0],"\n";
open(PAGE,">outfile.csv") || die"Can't open outfile.csv\n";
while($i<scalar(#ARGV))
{
open(FILE,#ARGV[$i]) || die"Can't open ...#ARGV[$i]...\n";
$data.=join("",<FILE>);
close FILE;
print"file completed...",$i+1,"\n";
$i++;
}
#data=split("\n",$data);
#data2=#data;
print scalar(#data);
for($i=0;$i<scalar(#data);$i++)
{
#id1=split(",",#data[$i]);
$id_1=#id1[0];
#data[$j]=~s/\n//;
if(#data[$i] ne "")
{
print PAGE "\n#data[$i],";
for($j=$i+1;$j<scalar(#data2);$j++)
{
#id2=split(",",#data2[$j]);
$id_2=#id2[0];
if($id_1 eq $id_2)
{
#data[$j]=~s/\n//;
print PAGE "#data2[$j],";
#data2[$j]="";
#data[$j]="";
print "match found at ",$i+1," and ",$j+1,"\n";
}
}
}
print $i+1,"\n";
}
merge_csvfiles is a folder which contains all the files
output of above code is
IPR017690,Outer membrane,821,IPR017690,Outer membrane ,728,IPR017690,Outer membrane,905

Has anybody got any idea how can i do this?
Thank you for the help
As mentioned in Miguel Prz's comment, you haven't explained how you want the merge to be performed, but, judging by the "desired output" sample, it appears that what you want is to concatenate lines with matching IDs from all three input files into a single line in the output file, with "0,0,0" taking the place of any lines which don't appear in a given file.
So, then:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my #input_files = glob 'merge_csvfiles/*.csv';
my %data;
for my $i (0 .. $#input_files) {
open my $infh, '<', $input_files[$i]
or die "Failed to open $input_files[$i]: $!";
while (<$infh>) {
chomp;
my $id = (split ',', $_, 2)[0];
$data{$id}[$i] = $_;
}
print "Input file read: $input_files[$i]\n";
}
open my $outfh, '>', 'outfile.csv' or die "Failed to open outfile.csv: $!";
for my $id (sort keys %data) {
my #merge_data;
for my $i (0 .. $#input_files) {
push #merge_data, $data{$id}[$i] || '0,0,0';
}
print $outfh join(',', #merge_data) . "\n";
}
The first loop collects all the lines from each file into a hash of arrays. The hash keys are the IDs, so the lines for that ID from all files are kept together, and the value for each key is (a reference to) an array of the line associated with that ID in each file; using an array for this allows us to keep track of values which are missing as well as those which are present.
The second loop then takes the keys of that hash (in alphabetical order) and, for each one, creates a temporary array of the values associated with that ID, substituting "0,0,0" for missing values, joins them into a single string, and prints that to the output file.
The results, in outfile.csv, are:
IPR000531,TonB receptor,150,0,0,0,0,0,0
0,0,0,IPR000873,AMP-dependent synthetase/ligase,111,0,0,0
IPR003594,ATPase,179,0,0,0,IPR003594,ATPase,158
0,0,0,IPR011991,Winged,113,0,0,0
IPR013785,Aldolase,304,IPR013785,Aldolase,300,IPR013785,Aldolase,367
IPR014729,Rossmann,327,IPR014729,Rossmann,261,IPR014729,Rossmann,338
IPR015421,Pyridoxal,224,IPR015421,Pyridoxal,189,IPR015421,Pyridoxal,271
IPR017690,Outer membrane, omp85 target,821,IPR017690,Outer membrane, omp85 target,728,IPR017690,Outer membrane,905
IPR018248,EF-hand,10,0,0,0,IPR018248,EF-hand,3
Edit: Added explanations requested by OP in comments
can u expalain me the working of my $id = (split ',', $_, 2)[0]; and $# in this program
my $id = (split ',', $_, 2)[0]; gets the text prior to the first comma in the last line of text that was read:
Because I didn't specify what variable to put the data in, while (<$infh>) reads it into the default variable $_.
split ',', $_, 2 splits up the value of $_ into a list of comma-separated fields. The 2 at the end tells it to only produce at most 2 fields; the code will work fine without the 2, but, since I only need the first field, splitting into more parts isn't necessary.
Putting (...)[0] around the split command turns the returned list of fields into an (anonymous) array and returns the first element of that array. It's the same as if I'd written my #fields = split ',', $_, 2; my $id = $fields[0];, but shorter and without the extra variable.
$#array returns the highest-numbered index in the array #array, so for my $i (0 .. $#array) just means "loop over the indexes for all elements in #array". (Note that, if I hadn't needed the value of the index counter, I would have instead looped over the array's data directly, by using for my $filename (#input_files), but it would have been less convenient to keep track of the missing values if I'd done it that way.)
I want to add a line to the text file in perl which has data in a sorted form. I have seen examples which show how to append data at the end of the file, but since I want the data in a sorted format.
Please guide me how can it be done.
Basically from what I have tried so far :
(I open a file, grep its content to see if the line which I want to add to the file already exists. If it does than exit else add it to the file (such that the data remains in a sorted format)
open(my $FH, $file) or die "Failed to open file $file \n";
#file_data = <$FH>;
close($FH);
my $line = grep (/$string1/, #file_data);
if($line) {
print "Found\n";
exit(1);
}
else
{
#add the line to the file
print "Not found!\n";
}
Here's an approach using Tie::File so that you can easily treat the file as an array, and List::BinarySearch's bsearch_str_pos function to quickly find the insert point. Once you've found the insert point, you check to see if the element at that point is equal to your insert string. If it's not, splice it into the array. If it is equal, don't splice it in. And finish up with untie so that the file gets closed cleanly.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tie::File;
use List::BinarySearch qw(bsearch_str_pos);
my $insert_string = 'Whatever!';
my $file = 'something.txt';
my #array;
tie #array, 'Tie::File', $file or die $!;
my $idx = bsearch_str_pos $insert_string, #array;
splice #array, $idx, 0, $insert_string
if $array[$idx] ne $insert_string;
untie #array;
The bsearch_str_pos function from List::BinarySearch is an adaptation of a binary search implementation from Mastering Algorithms with Perl. Its convenient characteristic is that if the search string isn't found, it returns the index point where it could be inserted while maintaining the sort order.
Since you have to read the contents of the text file anyway, how about a different approach?
Read the lines in the file one-by-one, comparing against your target string. If you read a line equal to the target string, then you don't have to do anything.
Otherwise, you eventually read a line 'greater' than your current line according to your sort criteria, or you hit the end of the file. In the former case, you just insert the string at that position, and then copy the rest of the lines. In the latter case, you append the string to the end.
If you don't want to do it that way, you can do a binary search in #file_data to find the spot to add the line without having to examine all of the entries, then insert it into the array before outputting the array to the file.
Here's a simple version that reads from stdin (or filename(s) specified on command line) and appends 'string to append' to the output if it's not found in the input. Outuput is printed on stdout.
#! /usr/bin/perl
$found = 0;
$append='string to append';
while(<>) {
$found = 1 if (m/$append/o);
print
}
print "$append\n" unless ($found);;
Modifying it to edit a file in-place (with perl -i) and taking the append string from the command line would be quite simple.
A 'simple' one-liner to insert a line without using any module could be:
perl -ni -le '$insert="lemon"; $eq=($insert cmp $_); if ($eq == 0){$found++}elsif($eq==-1 && !$found){print$insert} print'
giver a list.txt whose context is:
ananas
apple
banana
pear
the output is:
ananas
apple
banana
lemon
pear
{
local ($^I, #ARGV) = ("", $file); # Enable in-place editing of $file
while (<>) {
# If we found the line exactly, bail out without printing it twice
last if $_ eq $insert;
# If we found the place where the line should be, insert it
if ($_ gt $insert) {
print $insert;
print;
last;
}
print;
}
# We've passed the insertion point, now output the rest of the file
print while <>;
}
Essentially the same answer as pavel's, except with a lot of readability added. Note that $insert should already contain a trailing newline.
