It goes on for 1280 atoms. I'm trying to make a cluster out of it.
My algorithm for this problem goes as follows.
1. Delete the bottom two layers
2. Prompt for first pivot atom coordinates
3. For the first pivot atom, search for nearest neighbor atoms, put those in a new file.
4. Prompt for the second pivot atom
5. Search for it's nearest neighbors, look if they're already in the new file, if not copy those.
Do this for the next 2 pivot atoms too.
Please bear with me, but my Unix skills are better then my rudimentary knowledge of condensed matter physics.
1) What is - in terms of dsitinguishing text elements - a "bottom layer"? Can it be described in terms like all lines with "0.0000000" in the fourth field or something such?
2) In the same way of description: what is a "pivot atom"? I guess your table lists platinum atoms and their coordinates, but what makes an atom a "pivot atom"?
3) I guess "nearest neighbor" is probably the one where the absolute value of the sum of the 3 coordinate differences is minimal, yes? Something like
How can there be more than one "nearest neighbors" and how should they be calculated?

You filter all the lines containing "Pt" from a file, the use awk to only output the fourth field of these lines. You end up with a stream of lines all consisting of one coordinate. This stream is piped into a another grep, which filters out all lines starting with "0.", followed by 14 other digits. You do nothing further with this result. Then you call "sed" and try to remove a double quote, followed by the lines end, followed (sic!) by the string '{doom[*]}"'. The "g" at the end has no significance because i promise there is only one line end in every line. Therefore the whole file comes out unchanged.
Finally you use "( ... )" to construct an array "doom" in which every word (separated by blanks) is one element. The first elements will be the filtered fourth columns from your first pipeline, then your input file is cut in separate words and these take the next places. Depending on the shell you use it might even run out of space, because i.e. ksh88 has a limitation of 1024 elements in an array.

No. It won't delete anything, just declare an array variable.
I am aware you had a few more questions, but please specify your requirements first. It makes sense to talk about implementation specifics only after this is covered.
Hye all,
I would like some help with reading in a file in which the data is seperated by commas. for instance:
input.dat:
1,2,34,/test
for the above case, the fn. will store the values into an array -> data as follows:
data = 1
data = 2
data = 34
data = /test

Ok; here is the code
INCREMENT=0 #Final Count

Hi,
I have tried to find some sort of previous similar thread on this but not quite close to what I want to achieve.
Basically I have two class of data in my file..e.g
1,1,1,1,1,2,yes
1,2,3,4,5,5,yes
2,3,4,5,5,5,no
1,2,3,4,4,2,no
1,1,3,4,5,2,no
I wanted to read the "yes" entry to an... (5 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying to use arrays in my script but can not seem to get it to work.
I have a file called sections, this contains headers from a tripwire log file, separated by "@" but could be "," if easier
The headers will be used to cut sections from the log file into another to be mailed.

Okay, I've made threads on extracting fields and comparing strings in separate files in .csv's. I've written the following code with intentions of learning more.
I just want this one question answered: How can I assign fields from a file(comma separated) to variables?
My goal is to check... (0 Replies)
if i declare both but don't input any variables what values will the int array and file pointer array have on default, and if i want to reset any of the elements of both arrays to default, should i just set it to 0 or NULL or what? (1 Reply)
I have this piece of code. The first if statement is not working, however the second if statement is working fine.
I have set a value for Srcs to be file.srcs and want to print it.
