Counting non empty fields and calculating with that number
Hello all,

I have a problem with a skript of mine:

My input has the following format

Code:
1,33296 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000018629"  0 1,33296 0
0 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000029014"  0
0,907392 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000016905"  0,907392
0 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000053370"  0
0 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000038480"  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000019722"  0 0 0
11,4615 transcript_id"ENSRNOT00000002187"  1,40701 1,13791 1,22749 1,22412 1,57927 1,29104 1,02167 1,41525 1,15769

The first field is the sum of all fields after the $2. Now I want to add a field upfront that is the sum ($1) divided by the number of all fields that are not zero.

This is what I came up with until now:

Code:
awk 'BEGIN {cnt=0; for(i=3;i<=NF;i++) {if ($i != 0) {cnt++}}; if (cnt != 0) {print $1/cnt, $0} else {print 0,$0} }'

However, this does not work. I ran into the problem dividing by zero, so I included a second if statement. I don't know if this is allowed, though.

Best,
Seb

empty-page

EMPTY-PAGE(1)							 ExactImage Manual						     EMPTY-PAGE(1)

NAME

       empty-page - empty page detector of the ExactImage toolkit

SYNOPSIS

       empty-page [option...] {-i | --input} input-file

       empty-page {-h | --help}

DESCRIPTION

       ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit
       depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements.

       empty-page counts dark pixels of a black and white image and decides with a threshold whether the page is most probably empty, and thus can
       be removed from the image processing stream.

OPTIONS

       -i file, --input file
	   Read image from the specified file.

       -m n, --margin n
	   Set width of border margin to skip. For speed reasons, the margin has to be a multiple of 8. The default is 16.

       -p x, --percentage x
	   Set fraction of permissible dark pixels. The default is 0.05 (5%).

       -h, --help
	   Display help text and exit.

EXAMPLES

	   $ empty-page -i test.tif
	   The image has 75461 dark pixels from a total of 1060992 (7.11231%).
	   non-empty

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 if the image is mostly white, 1 otherwise.
