Perform Operations on One File Conditional on Data in Another File
Hello all,

I am looking for a solution to the following problem. Perl or python solutions also welcome.

Given this input:

Quote:
0.788 0.901 0.500
0.675 0.812 1
And this input:

Quote:
A A A B B B
B B B A A A
I want to get this output.

Quote:
0 0 A B 0 0
0 0 0 0 A A
The rule being that if the number in the first file is < 0.9, then the corresponding two columns on the same line in the other file are set to 0.

Thanks in advance.

Code:
awk '{ ORIG=$0
          getline <"numbers"
          if ($1 < 0.9)
          {
                  $0=ORIG
                  $1=0
                  $2=0
          }
          else { $0=ORIG }

          print }' < characters

                  $0=ORIG
                  $1=0
                  $2=0
          }
          else { $0=ORIG }
 
          print }' < characters

When I ran this code the output was:

Quote:
0 0 A B B B
0 0 B A A A
I ended up kludging this together:

Code:
 
awk '{ split($0,characters," ")
getline x < "numbers.txt"
split(x,numbers," ")
for (i in numbers) {
if (numbers[i] < .9) {
characters[((i*2)-1)]=0
characters[(i*2)]=0 }else{
} }
for(i = 1; i <= NF; i++) {
printf characters[i]" "
}
print ""
}' characters.txt

Which outputs:

Quote:
0 0 A B 0 0
0 0 0 0 A A
