Floating point to integer in variable length lines
Hi !

I'm looking for a way to transform certain floating point numbers in a one-line, variable length file to integers.

I can do this in a crude way with sed :
Code:
sed -e 's/0\.\([1-9][0-9]\)[0-9]:/\1:/g' -e 's/0\.0\([0-9]\)[0-9]:/\1:/g' -e 's/1\.000:/100:/g' myfile

... but this doesn't handle the rounding correctly.

I'm not very familiar with awk or perl, which are more adapted to arithmetics than sed.
So I can use them to look for my number to replace, but how to get the arithmetics done ?

So far, I can recognize the numbers to change :
Code:
awk  '{gsub(/)[0-9]+\.[0-9]+:/,")boot:")};1' myfile

or :
Code:
perl -pe 's/\)([0-9]+\.[0-9]+):/\)$1*100:/g' myfile

The floating point number to replace is always between a ")" and a ":" ; other numbers should be left unchanged.
So in the awk command, can I replace "boot" with an arithmetic operation ?
In the perl command, how to do the arithmetics and not just printing "0.100*100" ?

Just to give an example of the file, but they can be much more complicated :
Code:
(X1.13:0.39456,X1:0.00014,(Y3:0.01259,(XX:0.18846,YK3:0.14006)1.000:0.73816)0.758:0.01603);

The numbers to be changed are "1.000" and "0.758".

Thanks for reading !

Not sure how complex the other lines are but with the given example this should work:
Code:
awk -F")" '{
  for(i=2;i<NF;i++){
    f=s=$i
    sub(":.*","",f)
    sub(".*:","",s)
    f=sprintf("%d",f+=f<0?-0.5:0.5)
    sub($i,f ":" s)
  }
}1' file

Almost !!

Unfortunately, the files can be much more complex :

Some "):" don't have a number between them, so I included a test for matches :

Code:
awk -F")" '{
for(i=1;i<NF;i++){
if( match($i, /^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+:/) ) { 
f=s=$i
    sub(":.*","",f)
    sub(".*:","",s)
    f=sprintf("%d",f=(f*100)+0.5)
    sub($i,f ":" s)
}
  }
}1' testfile

but this gives the following error :

Code:
awk: cmd. line:7: (FILENAME=testfile FNR=1) fatal: Unmatched ( or \(: /0.894:0.02751,(((((X_XFCNODTR01B4F9S:0.00014,(((X_534Y3:0.0,X141Y5:0.0/

???

Got it !
One needs to prevent awk from interpreting the parenthesis in the input file, as indicated here :
Re: Passing shell variable with special chars to AWK

Thanks, Franklin52 !

If anyone needs it :

Code:
awk -F")" '{
for(i=1;i<NF;i++){
    if( $i ~ /^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+:/ ) { 
    f=s=$i
    p=$i
    gsub(/./,"[&]",p)      
    sub(":.*","",f)
        sub(".*:","",s)
        f=sprintf("%d",f=(f*100)+0.5)
    sub(p,f ":" s)
    }
  }
}1' testfile
