I have a CSV file like below:
E Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Run 4 Run 5 Run 6 Mean
1 0.7019 0.6734 0.6599 0.6511 0.701 0.6977 0.680833333
2 0.6421 0.6478 0.6095 0.608 0.6525 0.6285 0.6314
3 0.6039 0.6096 0.563 0.5539 0.6218 0.5716 0.5873
4 0.5564 0.5545 0.5138 0.4962 0.5781 0.5154 0.535733333
5 0.5056 0.4972 0.4704 0.4488 0.5245 0.4694 0.485983333
I'm trying to use find the row number where the final column has a value below a certain range. For example, below 0.6.
Using the above CSV file, I want to return 3 because E = 3 is the first row where Mean <= 0.60. If there is no value below 0.6 I want to return 0. I am in effect returning the value in the first column based on the final column.
I plan to initialize this number as a constant in gnuplot. How can this be done? I've tagged awk because I think it's related.
In case you want a gnuplot-only version... if you use a file remove the datablock and replace $Data by your filename in " ".
Edit: You can do it without a dummy table, it can be done shorter with stats (check help stats). Even shorter than the accepted solution (well, we are not at code golf here), but additionally platform-independent because it's gnuplot-only.
Furthermore, in case E could be any number, i.e. 0 as well, then it might be better
to first assign E = NaN and then compare E to NaN (see here: gnuplot: How to compare to NaN?).

Result:

Actually, OP wants to return E=0 if the condition was not met. Then the script would be like this:
E=0
stats $Data u ($8<=0.6 && E==0? E=$1 : 0) nooutput
Another awk. You could initialize the default return value to var ret in BEGIN but since it's 0 there is really no point as empty var+0 produces the same effect. If the threshold value of 0.6 is not met before the ENDis reached, that is returned. If it is met, exit invokes the END and ret is output:
$ awk '
NR>1 && $NF<0.6 { # final column has a value below a certain range
ret=$1 # I want to return 3 because E = 3
exit
}
END {
print ret+0
}' file
Output:
3
Something like this should do the trick:
awk 'NR>1 && $8<.6 {print $1;fnd=1;exit}END{if(!fnd){print 0}}' yourfile
I am struggling to find a text comparison tool or algorithm that can compare an expected text against the current state of the text being typed.
I will have an experimentee typewrite a text that he has in front of his eyes. My idea is to compare the current state of the text against the expected text whenever something is typed. That way I want to find out when and what the subject does wrong (I also want to find errors that are not in the resulting text but were in the intermediate text for some time).
Can someone point me in a direction?
Update #1
I have access to the typing data in a csv format:
This is example output data of me typing "foOBar". Every line has the form (timestamp, Key, Press/Release)

The following code does the following:
Read its content and store it in a list named steps
For each step in steps recognizes what happened and
If it was a shift press or release sets a flag (shift_on) accordingly
If it was an arrow pressed moves the cursor (index of current where we insert characters) – if it the cursor is at the start or at the end of the string it shouldn't move, that's why those min() and max()
If it was a letter/number/symbol it adds it in curret at cursor position and increments cursor
Here you have it
import csv
steps = [] # list of all actions performed by user
expected = "Hello"
with open("keyboard.csv") as csvfile:
for row in csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=','):
steps.append((float(row[0]), row[1], row[2]))
# Now we parse the information
current = [] # text written by the user
shift_on = False # is shift pressed
cursor = 0 # where is the cursor in the current text
for step in steps:
time, key, action = step
if key == 'LeftShift':
if action == 'P':
shift_on = True
else:
shift_on = False
continue
if key == 'LeftArrow' and action == 'P':
cursor = max(0, cursor-1)
continue
if key == 'RightArrow' and action == 'P':
cursor = min(len(current), cursor+1)
continue
if action == 'P':
if shift_on is True:
current.insert(cursor, key.upper())
else:
current.insert(cursor, key.lower())
cursor += 1
# Now you can join current into a string
# and compare current with expected
print(''.join(current)) # printing current (just to see what's happening)
else:
# What to do when a key is released?
# Depends on your needs...
continue
To compare current and expected have a look here.
Note: by playing around with the code above and a few more flags you can make it recognize also symbols. This will depend on your keyboard. In mine Shift + 6 = &, AltGr + E = € and Ctrl + Shift + AltGr + è = {. I think this is a good point to start.
Update
Comparing 2 texts isn't a difficult task and you can find tons of pages on the web about it.
Anyway I wanted to present you an object oriented approach to the problem, so I added the compare part that I previously omitted in the first solution.
This is still a rough code, without primary controls over the input. But, as you asked, this is pointing you in a direction.
class UserText:
# Initialize UserText:
# - empty text
# - cursor at beginning
# - shift off
def __init__(self, expected):
self.expected = expected
self.letters = []
self.cursor = 0
self.shift = False
# compares a and b and returns a
# list containing the indices of
# mismatches between a and b
def compare(a, b):
err = []
for i in range(min(len(a), len(b))):
if a[i] != b[i]:
err.append(i)
return err
# Parse a command given in the
# form (time, key, action)
def parse(self, command):
time, key, action = command
output = ""
if action == 'P':
if key == 'LeftShift':
self.shift = True
elif key == 'LeftArrow':
self.cursor = max(0, self.cursor - 1)
elif key == 'RightArrow':
self.cursor = min(len(self.letters), self.cursor + 1)
else:
# Else, a letter/number was pressed. Let's
# add it to self.letters in cursor position
if self.shift is True:
self.letters.insert(self.cursor, key.upper())
else:
self.letters.insert(self.cursor, key.lower())
self.cursor += 1
########## COMPARE WITH EXPECTED ##########
output += "Expected: \t" + self.expected + "\n"
output += "Current: \t" + str(self) + "\n"
errors = UserText.compare(str(self), self.expected[:len(str(self))])
output += "\t\t"
i = 0
for e in errors:
while i != e:
output += " "
i += 1
output += "^"
i += 1
output += "\n[{} errors at time {}]".format(len(errors), time)
return output
else:
if key == 'LeftShift':
self.shift = False
return output
def __str__(self):
return "".join(self.letters)
import csv
steps = [] # list of all actions performed by user
expected = "foobar"
with open("keyboard.csv") as csvfile:
for row in csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=','):
steps.append((float(row[0]), row[1], row[2]))
# Now we parse the information
ut = UserText(expected)
for step in steps:
print(ut.parse(step))
The output for the csv file above was:
Expected: foobar

I found the solution to my own question around a year ago. Now i have time to share it with you:
In their 2003 paper 'Metrics for text entry research: An evaluation of MSD and KSPC, and a new unified error metric', R. William Soukoreff and I. Scott MacKenzie propose three major new metrics: 'total error rate', 'corrected error rate' and 'not corrected error rate'. These metrics have become well established since the publication of this paper. These are exaclty the metrics i was looking for.
If you are trying to do something similiar to what i did, e.g. compare the writing performance on different input devices this is the way to go.
I have 2 txt files with different strings and numbers in them splitted with ;
Now I need to subtract the
((number on position 2 in file1) - (number on position 25 in file2)) = result
Now I want to replace the (number on position 2 in file1) with the result.
I tried my code below but it only appends the number in the end of the file and its not the result of the calculation which got appended.
def calc
f1 = File.open("./file1.txt", File::RDWR)
f2 = File.open("./file2.txt", File::RDWR)
f1.flock(File::LOCK_EX)
f2.flock(File::LOCK_EX)
f1.each.zip(f2.each).each do |line, line2|
bg = line.split(";").compact.collect(&:strip)
bd = line2.split(";").compact.collect(&:strip)
n = bd[2].to_i - bg[25].to_i
f2.print bd[2] << n
#puts "#{n}" Only for testing
end
f1.flock(File::LOCK_UN)
f2.flock(File::LOCK_UN)
f1.close && f2.close
end
Use something like this:
lines1 = File.readlines('file1.txt').map(&:to_i)
lines2 = File.readlines('file2.txt').map(&:to_i)
result = lines1.zip(lines2).map do |value1, value2| value1 - value2 }
File.write('file1.txt', result.join(?\n))
This code load all files in memory, then calculate result and write it to first file.
FYI: If you want to use your code just save result to other file (i.e. result.txt) and at the end copy it to original file.
Alrightie, so I'm building an CSV file this time with ruby. The outer loop will run up to length of num_of_loops, but it runs for an entire set rather than up to the specified row. I want to change the first column of a CSV file to a new name for each row.
If I do this:
class_days = %w[Wednesday Thursday Friday]
num_of_loops = (num_of_loops / class_days.size).ceil
num_of_loops.times {
["Wednesday","Thursday","Friday"].each do |x|
data[0] = x
data[4] = classname()
# Write all to file
#
csv << data
end
}
Then the loop will run only 3 times for a 5 row request.
I'd like it to run the full 5 rows such that instead of stopping at Wed/Thurs/Fri it goes to Wed/Thurs/Fri/Wed/Thurs instead.
class_days = %w[Wednesday Thursday Friday]
num_of_loops.times do |i|
data[0] = class_days[i % class_days.size]
data[4] = classname
csv << data
end
The interesting part is here:
class_days[i % class_days.size]
We need an index into class_days that is between 0 and class_days.size - 1. We can get that with the % (modulo) operator. That operator yields the remainder after dividing i by class_days.size. This table shows how it works:
i i % 3
0 0
1 1
2 2
3 0
4 1
5 2
...
The other key part is that the times method yields indices starting with 0.
I have a relatively big text file with blocks of data layered like this:
ANALYSIS OF X SIGNAL, CASE: 1
TUNE X = 0.2561890123390808
Line Frequency Amplitude Phase Error mx my ms p
1 0.2561890123391E+00 0.204316425208E-01 0.164145385871E+03 0.00000000000E+00 1 0 0 0
2 0.2562865535359E+00 0.288712798671E-01 -.161563284233E+03 0.97541196785E-04 1 0 0 0
(they contain more lines and then are repeated)
I would like first to extract the numerical value after TUNE X = and output these in a text file. Then I would like to extract the numerical value of LINE FREQUENCY and AMPLITUDE as a pair of values and output to a file.
My question is the following: altough I could make something moreorless working using a simple REGEXP I'm not convinced that it's the right way to do it and I would like some advices or examples of code showing how I can do that efficiently with Ruby.
Generally, (not tested)
toggle=0
File.open("file").each do |line|
if line[/TUNE/]
puts line.split("=",2)[-1].strip
end
if line[/Line Frequency/]
toggle=1
next
end
if toggle
a = line.split
puts "#{a[1]} #{a[2]}"
end
end
go through the file line by line, check for /TUNE/, then split on "=" to get last item.
Do the same for lines containing /Line Frequency/ and set the toggle flag to 1. This signify that the rest of line contains the data you want to get. Since the freq and amplitude are at fields 2 and 3, then split on the lines and get the respective positions. Generally, this is the idea. As for toggling, you might want to set toggle flag to 0 at the next block using a pattern (eg SIGNAL CASE or ANALYSIS)
file = File.open("data.dat")
#tune_x = #frequency = #amplitude = []
file.each_line do |line|
tune_x_scan = line.scan /TUNE X = (\d*\.\d*)/
data_scan = line.scan /(\d*\.\d*E[-|+]\d*)/
#tune_x << tune_x_scan[0] if tune_x_scan
#frequency << data_scan[0] if data_scan
#amplitude << data_scan[0] if data_scan
end
There are lots of ways to do it. This is a simple first pass at it:

'
require 'stringio'
pretend_file = StringIO.new(text, 'r')
That gives us a StringIO object we can pretend is a file. We can read from it by lines.
I changed the numbers a bit just to make it easier to see that they are being captured in the output.
pretend_file.each_line do |li|
case
when li =~ /^TUNE.+?=\s+(.+)/
print $1.strip, "\n"
when li =~ /^\d+\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)/
print $1, ' ', $2, "\n"
end
end
For real use you'd want to change the print statements to a file handle: fileh.print
The output looks like:
# >> 0.2561890123390808
# >> 0.2561890123391E+00 0.204316425208E-01

You can read your file line by line and cut each by number of symbol, for example:
to extract tune x get symbols from
10 till 27 on line 2
to extract LINE FREQUENCY get
symbols from 3 till 22 on line 6+n
