Unix Compare Two CSV files using comm - bash

I have two CSV files. 1.csv files has 718 entries and 2.csv has 68000 entries.
#cat 1.csv
#Num #Name
1 BoB
2 Jack
3 John
4 Hawk
5 Scot
...........
#cat 2.csv
#Num #Name
1 BoB
2 John
3 Linda
4 Hawk
5 Scot
........
I knew how to compare two files,when only one column(Names) is available in both and to get the matching names.
#comm -12 <(sort 1.csv) <(sort 2.csv)
Now i would like to check, If Num in 1.csv is matching with Num in 2.csv, What is the associated "Names" from both the csv files for that matched Num ?
Result :
1,Bob,Bob
2,Jack,John
3,John,Linda
4,Hawk,Hawk
5,Scot,Scot
..........
How to do achieve this using comm ?

You can use the join command to perform inner join on 2 csv files on the 1st field i.e the number. Here is an example:
$ cat f1.csv
1 BoB
2 Jack
3 John
4 Hawk
5 Scot
6 ExtraInF1
$ cat f2.csv
1 BoB
3 Linda
4 Hawk
2 John
5 Scot
7 ExtraInF2
$ join <(sort -t ' ' -k 1 f1.csv) <(sort -t ' ' -k 1 f2.csv)
1 BoB BoB
2 Jack John
3 John Linda
4 Hawk Hawk
5 Scot Scot
$ join <(sort -t ' ' -k 1 f1.csv) <(sort -t ' ' -k 1 f2.csv) | tr -s ' ' ,
1,BoB,BoB
2,Jack,John
3,John,Linda
4,Hawk,Hawk
5,Scot,Scot
$
Note I have added few dummy rows(number 6 and 7) and also note that they haven't appeared in the output as they aren't present in both files.
<(sort -t ' ' -k 1 f1.csv) means process substitution i.e substitute the output of the process at this place. sort with delimiter as space(-t ' ') and on 1st key i.e 1st column(-k 1) and join by default performs inner join on 1st column of both files.

Another one-liner for inner join using the join command
join -1 1 -2 1 <(sort 1.csv) <(sort 2.csv) | tr -s ' ' ,
-1 2 : sort on file 1, 1st field
-2 1 : sort on file 2, 1st field
tr -s squeezes multiple spaces into a single space and replaces it by a comma(,)

How can I count and display only the words that are repeated more than once using unix commands?

I am trying to count and display only the words that are repeated more than once in a file. The basic idea is:
You are given a file with names and characters like commas, colons, slashes, etc..
Use the cut command to display only the first names in the file (other commands are also allowed).
Count and then display only the names repeated more than once.
I got to the point of counting and displaying all the names. However, I haven't found a way to display and to count only those names repeated more than once.
Here is a section of the file:
user1:x:80:200:Mia,Spurs:/home/user1:/bin/bash
user2:x:80:200:Martha,Dalton:/home/user2:/bin/bash
user3:x:80:200:Lucy,Carlson:/home/user3:/bin/bash
user4:x:80:200:Carl,Bingo:/home/user4:/bin/bash
Here is what I have been able to do:
Daniel#Daniel-MacBook-Pro Files % cut -d ":" -f 5-5 file1 | cut -d "," -f 1-1 | sort -n | uniq -c
1 Mia
3 Martha
1 Lucy
1 Carl
1 Jessi
1 Joke
1 Jim
2 Race
1 Sem
1 Shirly
1 Susan
1 Tim
You can filter out the rows with count 1 with grep.
cut -d ":" -f 5 file1 | cut -d "," -f 1 | sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ *1 '

unix sort groups by their associated maximum value?

Let's say I have this input file 49142202.txt:
A 5
B 6
C 3
A 4
B 2
C 1
Is it possible to sort the groups in column 1 by the value in column 2? The desired output is as follows:
B 6 <-- B group at the top, because 6 is larger than 5 and 3
B 2 <-- 2 less than 6
A 5 <-- A group in the middle, because 5 is smaller than 6 and larger than 3
A 4 <-- 4 less than 5
C 3 <-- C group at the bottom, because 3 is smaller than 6 and 5
C 1 <-- 1 less than 3
Here is my solution:
join -t$'\t' -1 2 -2 1 \
<(cat 49142202.txt | sort -k2nr,2 | sort --stable -k1,1 -u | sort -k2nr,2 \
| cut -f1 | nl | tr -d " " | sort -k2,2) \
<(cat 49142202.txt | sort -k1,1 -k2nr,2) \
| sort --stable -k2n,2 | cut -f1,3
The first input to join sorted by column 2 is this:
2 A
1 B
3 C
The second input to join sorted by column 1 is this:
A 5
A 4
B 6
B 2
C 3
C 1
The output of join is:
A 2 5
A 2 4
B 1 6
B 1 2
C 3 3
C 3 1
Which is then sorted by the nl line number in column 2 and then the original input columns 1 and 3 are kept with cut.
I know it can be done a lot easier with for example groupby of pandas of Python, but is there a more elegant way of doing it, while sticking to the use of GNU Coreutils such as sort, join, cut, tr and nl? Preferably I want to avoid a memory inefficient awk solution, but please share those as well. Thanks!
As explained in the comment my solution tries to reduce the number of pipes, unnecessary cat commands and more especially the number of pipeline sort operations since sorting is a complex/time consuming operation:
I reached the following solution where f_grp_sort is the input file:
for elem in $(sort -k2nr f_grp_sort | awk '!seen[$1]++{print $1}')
do
grep $elem <(sort -k2nr f_grp_sort)
done
OUTPUT:
B 6
B 2
A 5
A 4
C 3
C 1
Explanations:
sort -k2nr f_grp_sort will generate the following output:
B 6
A 5
A 4
C 3
B 2
C 1
and sort -k2nr f_grp_sort | awk '!seen[$1]++{print $1}' will generate the output:
B
A
C
the awk will just generate in the same order 1 unique element of the first column of the temporary output.
Then the for elem in $(...)do grep $elem <(sort -k2nr f_grp_sort); done
will grep for lines containing B then A, then C what will provide the required output.
Now as enhancement, you can use a temporary file to avoid doing sort -k2nr f_grp_sort operation twice:
$ sort -k2nr f_grp_sort > tmp_sorted_file && for elem in $(awk '!seen[$1]++{print $1}' tmp_sorted_file); do grep $elem tmp_sorted_file; done && rm tmp_sorted_file
So, this won't work for all cases, but if the values in your first column can be turned into bash variables, we can use dynamically named arrays to do this instead of a bunch of joins. It should be pretty fast.
The first while block reads in the contents of the file, getting the first two space separated strings and putting them into col1 and col2. We then create a series of arrays named like ARR_A and ARR_B where A and B are the values from column 1 (but only if $col1 only contains characters that can be used in bash variable names). The array contains the column 2 values associated with these column 1 values.
I use your fancy sort chain to get the order we want column 1 values to print out in, we just loop through them, then for each column 1 array we sort the values and echo out column 1 and column 2.
The dynamc variable bits can be hard to follow, but for the right values in column 1 it will work. Again, if there's any characters that can't be part of a bash variable name in column 1, this solution will not work.
file=./49142202.txt
while read col1 col2 extra
do
if [[ "$col1" =~ ^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$ ]]
then
eval 'ARR_'${col1}'+=("'${col2}'")'
else
echo "Bad character detected in Column 1: '$col1'"
exit 1
fi
done < "$file"
sort -k2nr,2 "$file" | sort --stable -k1,1 -u | sort -k2nr,2 | while read col1 extra
do
for col2 in $(eval 'printf "%s\n" "${ARR_'${col1}'[#]}"' | sort -r)
do
echo $col1 $col2
done
done
This was my test, a little more complex than your provided example:
$ cat 49142202.txt
A 4
B 6
C 3
A 5
B 2
C 1
C 0
$ ./run
B 6
B 2
A 5
A 4
C 3
C 1
C 0
Thanks a lot #JeffBreadner and #Allan! I came up with yet another solution, which is very similar to my first one, but gives a bit more control, because it allows for easier nesting with for loops:
for x in $(sort -k2nr,2 $file | sort --stable -k1,1 -u | sort -k2nr,2 | cut -f1); do
awk -v x=$x '$1==x' $file | sort -k2nr,2
done
Do you mind, if I don't accept either of your answers, until I have time to evaluate the time and memory performance of your solutions? Otherwise I would probably just go for the awk solution by #Allan.

Subtract corresponding lines

I have two files, file1.csv
3 1009
7 1012
2 1013
8 1014
and file2.csv
5 1009
3 1010
1 1013
In the shell, I want to subtract the count in the first column in the second file from that in the first file, based on the identifier in the second column. If an identifier is missing in the second column, the count is assumed to be 0.
The result would be
-2 1009
-3 1010
7 1012
1 1013
8 1014
The files are huge (several GB). The second columns are sorted.
How would I do this efficiently in the shell?
Assuming that both files are sorted on second column:
$ join -j2 -a1 -a2 -oauto -e0 file1 file2 | awk '{print $2 - $3, $1}'
-2 1009
-3 1010
7 1012
1 1013
8 1014
join will join sorted files.
-j2 will join one second column.
-a1 will print records from file1 even it there is no corresponding row in file2.
-a2 Same as -a1 but applied for file2.
-oauto is in this case the same as -o1.2,1.1,2.1 which will print the joined column, and then the remaining columns from file1 and file2.
-e0 will insert 0 instead of an empty column. This works with -a1 and -a2.
The output from join is three columns like:
1009 3 5
1010 0 3
1012 7 0
1013 2 1
1014 8 0
Which is piped to awk, to subtract column three from column 2, and then reformatting.
$ awk 'NR==FNR { a[$2]=$1; next }
{ a[$2]-=$1 }
END { for(i in a) print a[i],i }' file1 file2
7 1012
1 1013
8 1014
-2 1009
-3 1010
It reads the first file in memory so you should have enough memory available. If you don't have the memory, I would maybe sort -k2 the files first, then sort -m (merge) them and continue with that output:
$ sort -m -k2 -k3 <(sed 's/$/ 1/' file1|sort -k2) <(sed 's/$/ 2/' file2|sort -k2) # | awk ...
3 1009 1
5 1009 2 # previous $2 = current $2 -> subtract
3 1010 2 # previous $2 =/= current and current $3=2 print -$3
7 1012 1
2 1013 1 # previous $2 =/= current and current $3=1 print prev $2
1 1013 2
8 1014 1
(I'm out of time for now, maybe I'll finish it later)
EDIT by Ed Morton
Hope you don't mind me adding what I was working on rather than posting my own extremely similar answer, feel free to modify or delete it:
$ cat tst.awk
{ split(prev,p) }
$2 == p[2] {
print p[1] - $1, p[2]
prev = ""
next
}
p[2] != "" {
print (p[3] == 1 ? p[1] : 0-p[1]), p[2]
}
{ prev = $0 }
END {
split(prev,p)
print (p[3] == 1 ? p[1] : 0-p[1]), p[2]
}
$ sort -m -k2 <(sed 's/$/ 1/' file1) <(sed 's/$/ 2/' file2) | awk -f tst.awk
-2 1009
-3 1010
7 1012
1 1013
8 1014
Since the files are sorted¹, you can merge them line-by-line with the join utility in coreutils:
$ join -j2 -o auto -e 0 -a 1 -a 2 41144043-a 41144043-b
1009 3 5
1010 0 3
1012 7 0
1013 2 1
1014 8 0
All those options are required:
-j2 says to join based on the second column of each file
-o auto says to make every row have the same format, beginning with the join key
-e 0 says that missing values should be substituted with zero
-a 1 and -a 2 include rows that are absent from one file or another
the filenames (I've used names based on the question number here)
Now we have a stream of output in that format, we can do the subtraction on each line. I used this GNU sed command to transform the above output into a dc program:
sed -re 's/.*/c&-n[ ]np/e'
This takes the three values on each line and rearranges them into a dc command for the subtraction, then executes it. For example, the first line becomes (with spaces added for clarity)
c 1009 3 5 -n [ ]n p
which subtracts 5 from 3, prints it, then prints a space, then prints 1009 and a newline, giving
-2 1009
as required.
We can then pipe all these lines into dc, giving us the output file that we want:
$ join -o auto -j2 -e 0 -a 1 -a 2 41144043-a 41144043-b \
> | sed -e 's/.*/c& -n[ ]np/' \
> | dc
-2 1009
-3 1010
7 1012
1 1013
8 1014
¹ The sorting needs to be consistent with LC_COLLATE locale setting. That's unlikely to be an issue if the fields are always numeric.
TL;DR
The full command is:
join -o auto -j2 -e 0 -a 1 -a 2 "$file1" "$file2" | sed -e 's/.*/c& -n[ ]np/' | dc
It works a line at a time, and starts only the three processes you see, so should be reasonably efficient in both memory and CPU.
Assuming this is a csv with blank separation, if this is a "," use argument -F ','
awk 'FNR==NR {Inits[$2]=$1; ids[$2]++; next}
{Discounts[$2]=$1; ids[$2]++}
END { for (id in ids) print Inits[ id] - Discounts[ id] " " id}
' file1.csv file2.csv
for memory issue (could be in 1 serie of pipe but prefer to use a temporary file)
awk 'FNR==NR{print;next}{print -1 * $1 " " $2}' file1 file2 \
| sort -k2 \
> file.tmp
awk 'Last != $2 {
if (NR != 1) print Result " "Last
Last = $2; Result = $1
}
Last == $2 { Result+= $1; next}
END { print Result " " $2}
' file.tmp
rm file.tmp

Add column to csv file

I have two files and I need catch the last column of a file and append to other file.
file1
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
file2
5 5
5 5
5 5
Initial proposal
#!/usr/bin/env bash
column=$(awk '{print $(NF)}' $file1)
paste -d',' $file2 < $column
Expected result
file2
5 5 3
5 5 3
5 5 3
But, This script does not work yet
OBS: I do not know how many columns have in the file. I need more generic solution.
You can use this paste command:
paste -d " " file2 <(awk '{print $NF}' file1)
5 5 3
5 5 3
5 5 3
To append last column of file1 to file2:
paste -d " " file2 <(rev file1 | cut -d " " -f 1 | rev)
Output:
5 5 3
5 5 3
5 5 3
To paste the second column of file 1 to file 2:
while read line; do
read -u 3 c1 c2 c3;
echo $line $c2;
done < file2 3< file1
You can use Perl too:
$ paste -d ' ' file2.txt <(perl -lne 'print $1 if m/(\S+)\s*$/' file1.txt)
5 5 3
5 5 3
5 5 3
Or grep:
$ paste -d ' ' file2.txt <(grep -Eo '(\S+)\s*$' file1.txt)
5 5 3
5 5 3
5 5 3

bash- get all lines with the same column value in two files

I have two text files each with 3 fields. I need to get the lines with the same value on the third field. The 3rd field value is unique in each file. Example:
file1:
1 John 300
2 Eli 200
3 Chris 100
4 Ann 600
file2:
6 Kevin 250
7 Nancy 300
8 John 100
output:
1 John 300
7 Nancy 300
3 Chris 100
8 John 100
When I use the following command:
cat file1 file2 | sort -k 3 | uniq -c -f 2
I get only one row from an input file with the duplicate value. I need both!
this one-liner gives you that output:
awk 'NR==FNR{a[$3]=$0;next}$3 in a{print a[$3];print}' file1 file2
My solution is
join -1 3 -2 3 <(sort -k3 file1) <(sort -k3 file2) | awk '{print $2, $3, $1; print $4, $5, $1}'
or
join -1 3 -2 3 <(sort -k3 file1) <(sort -k3 file2) -o "1.1 1.2 0 2.1 2.2 0" | xargs -n3
