Subject: perl script - help
Message-Id: <%OFr3.2448$001.1198244@WReNphoon3>
I'm new at programming - so if anyone could help.
I've got a big file with 4 columns or fields. The
two columns in the middle I don't care about. The
first column has a name or a string that doesn't
change nearly as much as the name or string in the
forth column. My objective is to count the number
of instances of the word, name or string in the forth
column to the name or string in the first column that
remains the same for a while and then it changes to a
different word for which I have to count over again.
I would like to print " for every one of these in the
first column I found 3 instances of that, 4 instances
of this and so on.
In other words:
tttt wecc eer 3/1
tttt fgds dfg 3/1
tttt fgds ghf 4/1
tttt dfgg rfc 4/1
rrrr dffs tgb 1/1
rrrr fdsg tgf 6/2
for word tttt i found 2 instances of 3/1
2 instances of 4/1.
for word rrrr i found 1 instance of 1/1 and 1 instance of 6/2.
and so on.

Well, write your program to do precisely what you did in your head.
Take the first line, put the first and fourth elements in a hash.
Increment hash.
Ta-da!
If you already have some code, and you need some help with it,
cut-and-paste a portion.

The other way to do it would be to maintain
counts for each unique occurence of a word
in the leftmost column. But that would mean
memory usage if you have too many of them.

[snip of data and comment]
This doesn't seem extensible or clean to me. Did you consider
using a better data structure? Here's a quick 'n' dirty version using
a hash of hashes, which doesn't take up too much space:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my %HoH = ();
my ($left, $right);
open FILE, 'path/to/file' or die "can't open file: $!";
while (<FILE>) {
($left, undef, undef, $right) = split; # note the undef's in here
$HoH{$left}{$right}++;
}
foreach $left (sort keys %HoH) {
print "left col: $left\n";
foreach $right ( sort keys %{$HoH{$left}} ) {
print " count for $right is $HoH{$left}{$right}\n";
}
}
Try that with the same data set. This seems like a better data
structure
to me. And a better data structure will lead you to a better algorithm.
Notice that the 'large' file is red one line at a time, with only the
counts being tracked. I'm sure one of the Perl Golfers will show a
shorter version of this. With a Benchmark. :-)

David

Yes. But I assumed that other than printing out the number
of occurences as a message there is nothing else the code
was supposed to do. If after processing the file you
need the accumulated counts to do some calculations then
using a double hash etc is a good idea. Or else I thought
it is a good idea to print out the occurence once we
see a new word in the first col. The only thing I assumed
wrong was the file was sorted on the leftmost column. If
it is not then the results of my program will be all wrong.
Thanks anyway.

Well *I* thought Abigail's intention was imminently clear. But then,
I'm the sort of person who uses the word 'imminently' in conversation.
What do you say to someone who posts the identical message multiple
times,
several hours apart? Or several *days* apart, as in the case of someone

Subject: Problem dynamically loading modules via eval
Message-Id: <OHgsAEr4#GA.240@cpmsnbbsa02>
Hi all,
I'm a bit of a perl neophyte and our resident perl guru is on vacation, so
it goes without saying that I'm stuck and have no clue how to proceed....
Here's the problem in a nutshell. I have a perl program that dynamically
loads a module using eval. The program is a generic data conversion app
that loads different data conversion routines based on the input data.
Unfortunately I'm not able to get the dynamic loading to work properly. If
I include the module statically then everything works great - if I try to do
it dynamically then the module loads but it can't dereference an object that
I'm passing to it. I need to reference some subroutines from the parent
object in order to get some configuration settings. I can't pass these into
the subroutine because different data conversion routines need different
parameters...
Here's an example of what I'm doing:
In my main program:
sub loadmodule {
my $self = @_;
$self->{test} = "this is a test";
print "self = $self\n";
my $parserobject;
my $module = "ps::ParseDSV";
my $command = << CodeToEval;
use $module;
\$parserobject = new $module('$self');
CodeToEval
eval ($command);
}
in ps::ParseDSV.pm:
sub new {
my ($self, $parent) = @_;
print "parent = $parent\n";
print $parent->{test} . "\n";
}
When I run the above code (well, not EXACTLY this code but very close to it)
then it prints out the hash value for $self in the loadmodule subroutine
then it prints out the same hash value for $parent in ps::ParseDSV::new.
However $parent->{test} is not properly evaluated - it ends up printing out
a blank string.
If I change loadmodule as below to load the module statically then
everything works great. I can reference $parent's members & functions
without any problems whatsoever.
sub loadmodule {
my $self = @_;
$self->{test} = "this is a test";
print "self = $self\n";
use "ps::ParseDSV";
my $parserobject = new ps::ParseDSV($self);
}
So, what am I doing wrong in my attempt to dynamically load the module?
From everything that I'm printing out it looks to me like it definately
should be working. In both cases the hash value for the object is printed
out first in the loadmodule subroutine then in the LoadDSV constructor. But
only when I use the static approach am I actually able to reference data
based on the object that I pass to the constructor...
Please help me before I take this PC and see how high it will bounce off the
pavement three floors below my window!

Subject: Re: Problem reading forms with perl
Message-Id: <7oned1$16n$1@nnrp1.deja.com>
Thanks to all for your patience with a unix-challenged windows
programmer. Some more questions:
I went to activestate.com, and there are a lot of things to download.
Which one(s) do I need?
Is the "standard distribution" basically a perl compiler? Why would I
want to compile my perl when the server interprets the source? Or is
it just for documentation purposes?
There seems to be a huge communication gap between unix and windows
programmers. Where do people enter commands such as perldoc (or
whatever it was) in Windows? Windows consists of icons and screens,
not command lines. The only way I know of entering commands is opening
a DOS window, and I would think DOS has nothing to do with perl.
I am glad to get a hold of all these resources to enhance my knowledge
of perl, but I also feel I am buying a car when all I want to do is go
to the house next door. Is all this really necessary to read angle
brackets from a form? I see forms all the time that let users enter
addresses such as "joe <joe@domain.com>". How do those forms get the
input into some place where it can be manipulated? I will be glad to
learn all these things, but if someone could hand me a line of code
that would do the trick, I would be greatly appreciative. It just
can't be that hard.
Again, thanks for all the comments.

Why don't people just read the manuals?!?!
This is precisely the source of the "nastiness" (as one poster puts
it) present on this ng.
From perlfunc:
=item system LIST
Does exactly the same thing as "exec LIST" except that a fork is done
first, and the parent process waits for the child process to complete.
Note that argument processing varies depending on the number of
arguments. The return value is the exit status of the program as
returned by the wait() call. To get the actual exit value divide by
256. See also L</exec>.
You should spend more time reading the docs and FAQs before posting.

Your expression doesn't match "card=" ( it requires an 's' to follow the
'd' ), but it matches "cardsfoobar=". I don't think that's what he wanted.
OTOH, my expression maps "card" followed by 0 or 1 s , followed by "=".

Because a lot of sed and grep wizards hang out their. And sed questions
posted their are usually posted on the "seders" mailing list where
all the sed gurus can read them.

They are part of the POSIX standard, therefore part of UNIX.

Yes, but the c.o.u.q crowd know these utilities well. Besides, there's
no comp.lang.sed (-;
>comp.unix.questions should deal with Unix OS questions, not with
>questions about portable tools (aka commands, applications, whatever).
All UNIX tools are portable ( hint: what is the "P" in "POSIX" ? ) The
only nonportable tools are the vendor specific ones, and questions
about these are better asked in specific groups ( for example, questions
about rpm are best asked on the linux newsgroups ) So a corollary to
your argument, is that there is no point having c.o.u.q.
Moreover, each newsgroup adopts it's own "culture" over time. I'm
familiar with c.o.u.q. and sed/grep questions fit right in.

Configure your webserver properly. For information on how to do that, see
the docs, FAQs, and newsgroups about your webserver. If you (or anyone
else reading this) don't know what those things are and how to search for

Subject: Using Mail::Header and Mail::Internet
Message-Id: <37AF16CF.7FE0D616@hotmail.com>
Hello Everyone,
Can someone please tell me the syntax of the Mail::Header and
Mail::Internet. I am trying to create a header using Mail::Header, and
then use Mail::Internet to send the email.
I declared the following fields for the header.
$_from_address_
$_to_address_
$_subject_
$_cc_
$_bcc_
I have assigned values to these variables as follow:
my $_from_address_ = "From: Doraemon@japan.co.jp"'
my $_to_address_ = "Someone@somewhere.com"'
my $_subject_ = "Testing";
my $_cc_ = "";
my $_bcc_ = "";
then from what I have read, the syntax for the "new" constructor for
Mail::Header is as follow:
new ( [ARG], [options]), where ARG is optional and it may be a file
descriptor or reference to an array, if this parameter is given, then
the new object will be initialized with headers either from the array or
from the file descriptor; so I did the following:
@email_header = ($_from_address_, $_to_address_, $_cc_, $_bcc_,
$_subject_);
$header = new Mail::Header(@email_header);
Is the array @email_header created correctly? Do I need spaces or
commas to separate each field in the array so that the constructor will
be able to distinguish each field.
After the header was created, I want to create a Mail::Internet object
with the above header. The parameters for the Mail::Internet object is:
new([ARG],[OPTIONS]), where ARG is optional and maybe either a file
descriptor or a ref. to an array. If this parameter is given, the new
object will be initialized with headers either from the array of read
from the file descriptor. The valid OPTIONS include:
Header - The value of this option should be a Mail::Header obj, if
given, Mail::Internet will not attempt to read a mail header from the
ARG
Body - The value of this option should be a ref to an array which
contains the lines for the body of the message, if given, the
Mail::Internet will not attempt to read the body from the ARG.
... and so I did the following to create the Mail::Internet object:
my @_body_ = ("Hello", "Testing");
$internet_message = new Mail::Internet(@email_header, @_body_);
$internet_message->print();
then when I want to print out the header and body to stdout, I couldn't
see anyting.... can someone please explain to me what I have done
wrong....
Thanx

Administrivia:
The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:
subscribe perl-users
or:
unsubscribe perl-users
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.
The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.
For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
