Selecting files from a list and passing them to a program using csh
I have a list of files, example as shown below

Code:
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-16x12drw-csq.msf

I need to arrange them in a way that the only difference is the varp tag


For example, the section below have the same file name, except with
different values of varp. They all should be together and passed to a
program called plotmsf

Code:
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-4x3drw-csq.msf

Example

Code:
./plotlog n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-4x3drw-csq.msf

Thus the list of files should be arranged as shown below:

Code:
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-4x3drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-4x3drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-4x3drw-csq.msf

n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf

n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf 
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-16x12drw-csq.msf

Then I want to have something as below.

Code:
./plotlog n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-4x3drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-4x3drw-csq.msf


./plotlog n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.75-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf


./plotlog n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.002-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.004-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.006-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.008-16x12drw-csq.msf \
n02-z30-dsr65-ndelt0.25-varp0.010-16x12drw-csq.msf

What have you tried so far? I moderate all answers if OP doesn't show own effort, thanks for your understanding.

I have tried using sed with sort -u but this only takes care of the file name preceeding the varp section and is not able to check the contents of the file name after the varp.

Code:
set fNamesLst = `echo $arg_fullNamesLst | sed 's/-varp[^ ]//g'`

set fNamesLst = `echo $fNamesLst | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -u | tr '\n' ''`

---------- Post updated 11-29-11 at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous update was 11-28-11 at 02:00 PM ----------

I can store both sides of the varp tag, but the problem is that I cannot do sort separately on both. Some arrays might be useful but seems complicated.

I still have not figured out how I am going to implement this. I'm finding it quite complicated thing to do.

You have tons of posts - it would be nice if you also contribute sometimes instead of always have others... you know the impression one could get.
It is also not allowed to bump up threads - check the rules. What would you do if there wasn't this forum here? Ask in another one?
I hope you got it.

To your code problem:
Code:
$> awk -F"-" '{_[$4 FS $6]=_[$4 FS $6] $0} END{for(e in _){print _[e]}}' infile

You could redirect the output into a file to check it 1st and then read it with a while-loop and execute the 3 lines as parameter to your tool.
Or you can use xargs and hand it over.

No, not that you asked but asked very very often and from spot-testing your threads and posts it was usually asking. I saw in another thread that you contributed - that's the way to go compared to so many questions Smilie

You did not tell if it worked or not.
