in thread How to add column into array from delimited tab file
Hello ken, thanks for explaining in your reply. It makes abit more sense for me now!
However, I do want to keep the first column. I have columns that contain dataR(X) (e.g. dataR1, dataR2...dataR28) and then followed by several links (contained in several columns..some rows will be empty.) which I also want to keep So right now, my problem here is trying to find the header that match dataS0XRx so that I can grab those columns to perform some calculations:Yes to the following: •You have multiple, tab-delimited files •The first line of each file contains column headers •Each file may have a different number of columns
and then loop through the column, print it out and filter off unwanted rows based on the average Coefficient Variance across all dataSXR0X rows (which I will figure out later after I manage to figure out the beginning part). So my problem here: How to find the column headers matching dataS0XR0X to put those columns into arrays for manipulation? here is my code which I have done initially before posting into perlmonk:e.g. first file.txt: ID dataS01R1 dataS01R2 dataS02R1 dataS02R2 Links M45 345.2 536 876.12 873 http://.. M34 836 893 829 83.234 M72 873 123 342.36 837 M98 452 934 1237 938 http://.. =================================================== Calculation: row2/row2, row3/row2, row4/row2...row3400/row2 row2/row3, row3/row3, row4/row3 ... row3400/row3 row2/row4, row3/row4 ...row3400/row4 E.g dataS01R1 become: ID dataS01R1 ..dataS01R02... Links M45 1 (345.2/345.2) http://.. M34 2.42 (836/345.2) M72 2.52 (873/345.2) M98 1.309 (452/345.2) http://.. M45 0.41 (345.2/836) http://.. M34 1 (836/836) M72 1.04 (873/836) M98 0.54 (452/836) http://.. . . (loop through rows as denominator) .
I tried this code initially (before changing to the code I posted in first post)but it doesn't print out anything so I do not know what's went wrong. I am working on large databases and initially I worked with excel but it is too slow and lag my whole computer when performing calculations, so I decided to try PERL instead as I read that it is good for manipulating large datasets. However I am quite new to PERL, just started two months back. So I am not sure if what I am doing is okay. If there are other suggestions, let me know too. I hope my explanation is not confusing. :)if($first) { #if this is the first file, find the column locations my $firstline = <CURINFILE>; #read in the header line chomp $firstline; my @columns = split(/\t/, $firstline); my $columncount = 0; while($columncount <= $#columns && !($columns[$columncount] =~ + /ID/)) { $columncount++; } $ID= $columncount; while($columncount <= $#columns && !(($columns[$columncoun +t] =~ /_dataS(\d+)R/) )) { $columncount++; } $intensitydata = $columncount; #read in the remainder of the file while(<CURINFILE>) { #add the id, intensity values to an array chomp $_; my @templine = split(/\t/,$_); my @tempratio = (); push(@tempratio, $templine[$ID]); push(@tempratio, $templine[$intensitydata]); print "\nWriting output...";
