Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using Bash scripting to compare arrays looking for matches Post 302365991 by karlp on Wednesday 28th of October 2009 01:18:13 PM

So, let's see if I can construct an example.

Long list 1 contains a list of files, so does long list 2. These filenames are being compared to shortlist, which is a list generated from a find command used on a directory. The long lists contain files that ARE NOT allowed in the directory.

I had no idea what algorithm to use to look for matches; that was a large part of my question.

Code:
Long_List1=( $( cat /lists/badfiles ) )
Long_List2=( $( cat /lists/disallowedfiles.txt ) )
find /files -name *.stuff > /tmp/stuff.txt
short_list=( $( cat /tmp/stuff.txt ) )

I was thinking of either skipping reading the files into arrays and using short_list (stuff.txt) as input into grep, or using the arrays in the fashion specified above.

ARRAY_INTERSECT_UKEY(3) 						 1						   ARRAY_INTERSECT_UKEY(3)

array_intersect_ukey - Computes the intersection of arrays using a callback function on the keys for comparison

SYNOPSIS
array array_intersect_ukey (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...], callable $key_compare_func) DESCRIPTION
array_intersect_ukey(3) returns an array containing all the values of $array1 which have matching keys that are present in all the argu- ments. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - Initial array for comparison of the arrays. o $array2 - First array to compare keys against. o $... - Variable list of array arguments to compare keys against. o $key_compare_func - The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b) RETURN VALUES
Returns the values of $array1 whose keys exist in all the arguments. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_intersect_ukey(3) example <?php function key_compare_func($key1, $key2) { if ($key1 == $key2) return 0; else if ($key1 > $key2) return 1; else return -1; } $array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4); $array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8); var_dump(array_intersect_ukey($array1, $array2, 'key_compare_func')); ?> The above example will output: array(2) { ["blue"]=> int(1) ["green"]=> int(3) } In our example you see that only the keys 'blue' and 'green' are present in both arrays and thus returned. Also notice that the values for the keys 'blue' and 'green' differ between the two arrays. A match still occurs because only the keys are checked. The values returned are those of $array1. SEE ALSO
