perl - replace every nth (and multiples) occurrenc

2020-04-10 03:43发布

问题:

Does anyone know any unix commands/perl script that would insert a specific character (that can be entered as either hex (ie 7C) or as the actual character (ie |)) in the position of the nth recurring occurence of a specific character. ie perl script.pl "," 3 "|" data.txt would replace every 3rd,6th,9th...etc comma with a pipe.

So if data.txt had the following before the script was run:

fd,3232,gfd67gf,
peas,989767,jkdfnfgjhf,
dhdhjsk,267,ujfdsy,fuyds,637296,ldosi,fduy,
873,fuisouyd,try
save,2837,ipoi

It should then have this after the script was run:

fd,3232,gfd67gf|
peas,989767,jkdfnfgjhf|
dhdhjsk,267,ujfdsy|fuyds,637296,ldosi|fduy,
873,fuisouyd|try
save,2837,ipoi

Small perl hack to solve the problem. Using the index function to find the commas, modulus to replace the right one, and substr to perform the replacement.

use strict;
use warnings;

while (<>) {
    my $x=index($_,","); 
    my $i = 0; 
    while ($x != -1) {
        $i++; 
        unless ($i % 3) { 
            $_ = substr($_,0,$x) ."|". substr($_,$x+1); 
        }
        $x = index($_,",",$x + 1) 
    } 
    print;
}

Run with perl script.pl file.csv.

Note: You can place the declaration my $i before the while(<>) loop in order to do a global count, instead of a separate count for each line. Not quite sure I understood your question in that regard.

use File::Slurp qw(read_file);
my ($from, $to, $every, $fname) = @ARGV;
my $counter = 0;
my $in = read_file $fname;
my $out = $in;
# copy is important because pos magic attached to $in resets with substr
while ($in =~ /\Q$from/gms) {
    $counter++;
    substr $out, pos($in)-1, length($from), $to unless $counter % $every;
};
print $out;

If the $from and $to parameters have different length, you still need to mess a bit with the second parameter of substr to make it work correctly.

How about a nice, simple awk one-liner?

awk -v RS=, '{ORS=(++i%3?",":"|");print}' file.csv

One minor bug just occurred to me: it will print a , or | as the very last character. To avoid this, we need to alter it slightly:

awk -v RS=, '{ORS=(++i%3?",":"|");print}END{print ""}' file.csv | sed '$d'

# Get params and create part of the regex.
my $delim   = "\\" . shift;
my $n       = shift;
my $repl    = shift;
my $wild    = '.*?';
my $pattern = ($wild . $delim) x ($n - 1);

# Slurp.
$/       = undef;
my $text = <>;

# Replace and print.
$text =~ s/($pattern$wild)$delim/$1$repl/sg;
print $text;

This processes the input file one line at a time (no slurping :)
For hex input, just pass '\x7C' or whatever, as $1

#!/bin/bash  

b="${1:-,}"                             # the "before" field delimiter 
n="${2:-3}"                             # the number of fields in a group
a="${3:-|}"; [[ $a == [\|] ]] && a='\|' # the "after" group delimiter

sed -nr "x;G; /(([^$b]+$b){$((n-1))}[^$b]+)$b/{s//\1$a/g}
         s/.*\n//; h; /.*$a/{s///; x}; p" input_file

Here it is again, with some comments.

sed -nr "x;G    # pat = hold + pat
  /(([^$b]+$b){$((n-1))}[^$b]+)$b/{s//\1$a/g}
  s/.*\n//      # del fields from prev line
  h             # hold = mod*\n
  /.*$a/{ s///  #  pat = unmodified
          x     # hold = unmodified, pat = mod*\n
        }            
  p             # print line"  input_file

I have an idea in bash script :

perl -pe 's/,/(++$n % 3 == 0) ? "|" : $&/ge'  data.txt

That will do the trick.
