I am working on a code with my adviser,but have run into some problems. I was wondering: Can anyone see what I am doing wrong and/or point me in the right direction. I have an experiment where objects are presented in a circular display, and rotate clockwise or counter depending on the trial. The output produced by the awk file below is erroneous. I appreciate any help on this issue.
To debug your (messy) code, put the print statements throughout the script. You'd see immediately, that variable "pos" is always empty.
You try to set the 'pos' var here:
Code:
if ($4 == "(511, 69)"){pos=0;}
But the fourth field is not this, it is an integer before:
Furthermore, the pair (197, 383) has a space inbetween, so it's actually two fields. But wait, the FS is set to tab character, so you actually have only one filed ($1) in each line, since there are no tabs there. You could take out the FS="\t" line, and test for $5 $6:
Code:
if ($5 $6 == "(511, 69)"){pos=0;}
but honestly, that code has so many errors, i suggest you rewrite it. Try to use 'case' statements, they are much more easier to read and less prone than nested if statements.
And I would take out the space from the paired values (511, 69) change to (511,69) so that the input is properly delimited, at least.
Good luck.
xxxx=xxxx+1;
if(xxxx>5){
# if(subj!=$1){ print "END\n" >>subj;}
}
subj=$1;
if ($16 == "(718, 303)"){pos=3;}
if ($16 == "(715, 447)"){pos=5;} # target can only appear in one of four places as indicated
if ($16 == "(338, 452)"){pos=11;}
if ($16 == "(339, 300)"){pos=13;}
## Generate point sets (The remainder works well when adding but not subtracting.)
## Positions start at 0 and increase as you move counter clockwise around the circle.
## So, on counter-clockwise rotation trials, the distractor will be 2 positions lower than
## the final target position. The following is a reference:
##
## No Rotatio Counter-Clockwise Rotation Clockwise Rotation
## 0 15-0-1 1-2-3 15-14-13 1-0-15
## 14 2 13-14-15 3-4-5 13-12-11 3-2-1
## 12 4
## 10 6 11-12-13 5-6-7 11-10-9 5-4-3
## 8 9-10-11 7-8-9 9-8-7 7-6-5

It may run without errors, but it doesn't do anything useful -- it doesn't print anything. The FS is set to "\t" but there are no tabs in the sample input you posted.

I get some syntax errors.
Like what? Can you please post the errors you are getting? What system are you on? Which awk are you using? What is your desired output?

Any suggestions?
You should take the time to post the exact input and desired output, using CODE tags, and be more specific about your problems, to increase your chances of getting help. Just posting a bunch of code is not enough.
