Hello,
With the following small script I list the size of documents belonging to a certain user by each time selecting the bytes-field of that file ($7). Now it fills the array with every file it finds so in the end the output of some users contains up to 200.000 numbers. So how can I calculate... (7 Replies)
:confused:Hi,
I have got results from my simulation and I did extract the time field from the results file into new file. Then I was trying to calculate no. of occurrence for each set of time. However, I couldn't.
For example :
0.2 --
0.2 --
0.21016 --
0.21016 --
0.21016 --

Hey guys, maybe you can help me with this...
I want to read input.dat line by line, while doing a simple calculation between the second column value of the current line and the second column value of the next line (like a difference).

Hi all,
I am attempting to calculate a running variance for a file containing a column of numbers. I am using the formula variance=sum((x-mean(x))^2)/(n-1), where x is the value on the current row, and mean(x) is the average of all of the values up until that row. n represents the total number... (1 Reply)

Hello,
I came across a previous thread "awk-calculating-simple-correlation-rows" which calculated correlations across rows in awk.
Code:
awk '{
a = 0; for (i = 2; i <= NF; ++i) a += $i; a /= NF-1
b = 0; for (i = 2; i <= NF; ++i) b += ($i - a) ^ 2; b = sqrt(b)

bytes - Perl pragma to force byte semantics rather than character semantics
NOTICE
This pragma reflects early attempts to incorporate Unicode into perl and has since been superseded. It breaks encapsulation (i.e. it
exposes the innards of how the perl executable currently happens to store a string), and use of this module for anything other than
debugging purposes is strongly discouraged. If you feel that the functions here within might be useful for your application, this possibly
indicates a mismatch between your mental model of Perl Unicode and the current reality. In that case, you may wish to read some of the perl
Unicode documentation: perluniintro, perlunitut, perlunifaq and perlunicode.
SYNOPSIS
use bytes;
... chr(...); # or bytes::chr
... index(...); # or bytes::index
... length(...); # or bytes::length
... ord(...); # or bytes::ord
... rindex(...); # or bytes::rindex
... substr(...); # or bytes::substr
no bytes;
DESCRIPTION
The "use bytes" pragma disables character semantics for the rest of the lexical scope in which it appears. "no bytes" can be used to
reverse the effect of "use bytes" within the current lexical scope.
Perl normally assumes character semantics in the presence of character data (i.e. data that has come from a source that has been marked as
being of a particular character encoding). When "use bytes" is in effect, the encoding is temporarily ignored, and each string is treated
as a series of bytes.
As an example, when Perl sees "$x = chr(400)", it encodes the character in UTF-8 and stores it in $x. Then it is marked as character data,
so, for instance, "length $x" returns 1. However, in the scope of the "bytes" pragma, $x is treated as a series of bytes - the bytes that
make up the UTF8 encoding - and "length $x" returns 2:
$x = chr(400);
print "Length is ", length $x, "
"; # "Length is 1"
printf "Contents are %vd
", $x; # "Contents are 400"
{
use bytes; # or "require bytes; bytes::length()"
print "Length is ", length $x, "
"; # "Length is 2"
printf "Contents are %vd
", $x; # "Contents are 198.144"
}
chr(), ord(), substr(), index() and rindex() behave similarly.
For more on the implications and differences between character semantics and byte semantics, see perluniintro and perlunicode.
LIMITATIONS
bytes::substr() does not work as an lvalue().
