Subtract 100 from first field in long list? Simple manipulation?
It sounds so easy to do.
I have a file thats laid out like this..
number text text text text (etc about 15 times with various text fields)
I want to take the first field, "number", subtract 100 from it, and then put it back in the file. a simple little manipulation of the first field in the file.
is there an easy way to do this?
So if it looks like
14523 a b c d e f
24245 g h i j k l
it would end up being
14423 a b c d e f
24145 g h i j k

I've got a file that will have multiple columns. In one column there will be a string that is 10 digits in length, but I need to trim the first four zeros to make it 6 characters?
example:
0000001234
0000123456
0000234566
0000000321
output:
001234

ps_set_text_pos
PS_SET_TEXT_POS(3) 1 PS_SET_TEXT_POS(3)
ps_set_text_pos - Sets position for text output
SYNOPSIS
bool ps_set_text_pos (resource $psdoc, float $x, float $y)
DESCRIPTION
Set the position for the next text output. You may alternatively set the x and y value separately by calling ps_set_value(3) and choosing
textx respectively texty as the value name.
If you want to output text at a certain position it is more convenient to use ps_show_xy(3) instead of setting the text position and call-
ing ps_show(3).
PARAMETERS
o $psdoc
- Resource identifier of the postscript file as returned by ps_new(3).
o $x
- x-coordinate of the new text position.
o $y
- y-coordinate of the new text position.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Placing text at a given position
<?php
$ps = ps_new();
if (!ps_open_file($ps, "text.ps")) {
print "Cannot open PostScript file
";
exit;
}
ps_set_info($ps, "Creator", "rectangle.php");
ps_set_info($ps, "Author", "Uwe Steinmann");
ps_set_info($ps, "Title", "Text placement example");
ps_begin_page($ps, 596, 842);
$psfont = ps_findfont($ps, "Helvetica", "", 0);
ps_setfont($ps, $psfont, 8.0);
ps_show_xy($ps, "Some text at (100, 100)", 100, 100);
ps_set_value($ps, "textx", 100);
ps_set_value($ps, "texty", 120);
ps_show($ps, "Some text at (100, 120)");
ps_end_page($ps);
ps_delete($ps);
?>
