Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Outputting 1 file per row if pattern exists between files Post 302902942 by verse123 on Friday 23rd of May 2014 03:40:39 AM

Apologies for being unclear. Im trying compare values between files and if they match I want to extract some characters in between those values for many files. They are in two directories and have the same filename but one ends in .enr. They look like this.

Code:
cat bat.1.enr

Code:
name,start,end
bat.1,233, 235
bat.1,230, 232

Code:
head bat.1

Code:
 V1 V2  V3 V4 V5    V6 V7 V8
  0 230 -77 -1  D     xx  0  0
  1 231 -77  0  R      tt  0  0
  2 232 -77  1  T     yy  0  0
  3 233 -76 -1  Y     uu  0  0
  4 234 -76  0  U     re  0  0
  5 235 -76  1  I      dd  0  0

Im essentially trying to extract the characters from column V5 in bat.1 that fall between the lines bat.1.enr that contain the values in column V2 that bat.1.enr has. The output should look like this for this example.

The output should look like this:

Code:
cat bat.1.out_1

Code:
bat.1
YUI

Code:
cat bat.1.out_2

Code:
bat.1
DRT

The number of rows in the file containing the .enr extension can vary from 1 to more than 2.

Tcl_StringMatch(3)					      Tcl Library Procedures						Tcl_StringMatch(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h> int Tcl_StringMatch(str, pattern) int Tcl_StringCaseMatch(str, pattern, flags) ARGUMENTS
const char *str (in) String to test. const char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against string. May contain special characters from the set *?[]. int flags (in) OR-ed combination of match flags, currently only TCL_MATCH_NOCASE. 0 specifies a case-sensitive search. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1. Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for matching is the same algorithm used in the string match Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by the C-shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details. In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive. If you choose this (by passing TCL_MATCH_NOCASE), then the string and pattern are essentially matched in the lower case. KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string Tcl 8.5 Tcl_StringMatch(3)
