What would this do? if the file that has the proper column/row structure is called "original.1D" and the one-column file that has the proper integers is called "onecolumn.1D" then how would this code be written? which input is "file"?

Thanks

What's MATLAB? What does it have to do with shell scripting?
[/QUOTE]

What I meant is that I know in the programming language Matlab when it reads a text file it reads it one word at a time and the word that its on can be used as a variable and has an assigned name. Then theres another command that goes to the next word of the file so that it can go through each word in a file, do something with it, and move onto the next word. Thats what I want to do.

I want to go through the onecolumn file integer by integer (while at the same time going through the other file integer by integer) and switch the onecolumn integer into the integer of the multicolumn file one word at a time.

glsamplemaski

GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)						    OpenGL 3.3							 GLSAMPLEMASKI(3G)

NAME

       glSampleMaski - set the value of a sub-word of the sample mask

C SPECIFICATION

       void glSampleMaski(GLuint maskNumber, GLbitfield mask);

PARAMETERS

       maskNumber
	   Specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update.

       mask
	   Specifies the new value of the mask sub-word.

DESCRIPTION

       glSampleMaski sets one 32-bit sub-word of the multi-word sample mask, GL_SAMPLE_MASK_VALUE.

       maskIndex specifies which 32-bit sub-word of the sample mask to update, and mask specifies the new value to use for that sub-word.
       maskIndex must be less than the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS. Bit B of mask word M corresponds to sample 32 x M + B.

NOTES

       glSampleMaski is available only if the GL version is 3.2 or greater, or if the ARB_texture_multisample extension is supported.

ERRORS

       GL_INVALID_VALUE is generated if maskIndex is greater than or equal to the value of GL_MAX_SAMPLE_MASK_WORDS.
