Misc(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Misc(3pm) NAME PDL::IO::Misc - misc IO routines for PDL DESCRIPTION Some basic I/O functionality: FITS, tables, byte-swapping SYNOPSIS use PDL::IO::Misc; FUNCTIONS bswap2 Signature: (x(); ) Swaps pairs of bytes in argument x() bswap4 Signature: (x(); ) Swaps quads of bytes in argument x() bswap8 Signature: (x(); ) Swaps octets of bytes in argument x() rcols() Read ASCII whitespaced cols from a file into piddles and perl arrays (also see "rgrep()"). There are two calling conventions - the old version, where a pattern can be specified after the filename/handle, and the new version where options are given as as hash reference. This reference can be given as either the second or last argument. The default behaviour is to ignore lines beginning with a # character and lines that only consist of whitespace. Options exist to only read from lines that match, or do not match, supplied patterns, and to set the types of the created piddles. Can take file name or *HANDLE, and if no columns are specified, all are assumed. For the allowed types, see "Datatype_conversions" in PDL::Core. Options: EXCLUDE or IGNORE - ignore lines matching this pattern (default '/^#/'). INCLUDE or KEEP - only use lines which match this pattern (default ''). LINES - which line numbers to use. Line numbers start at 0 and the syn- tax is 'a:b:c' to use every c'th matching line between a and b (default ''). DEFTYPE - default data type for stored data (if not specified, use the type stored in $PDL::IO::Misc::deftype, which starts off as double). TYPES - reference to an array of data types, one element for each column to be read in. Any missing columns use the DEFTYPE value (default []). PERLCOLS - an array of column numbers which are to be read into perl arrays rather than piddles. References to these arrays are returned after the requested piddles (default undef). Usage: ($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", { EXCLUDE => '/^!/' }, $col1, $col2, ... ) ($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", $col1, $col2, ..., { EXCLUDE => '/^!/' } ) ($x,$y,...) = rcols( *HANDLE|"filename", "/foo/", $col1, $col2, ... ) e.g., $x = PDL->rcols 'file1'; ($x,$y) = rcols *STDOUT; # read in lines containing the string foo, where the first # example also ignores lines that with a # character. ($x,$y,$z) = rcols 'file2', 0,4,5, { INCLUDE => '/foo/' }; ($x,$y,$z) = rcols 'file2', 0,4,5, { INCLUDE => '/foo/', EXCLUDE => '' }; # ignore the first 27 lines of the file, reading in as ushort's ($x,$y) = rcols 'file3', { LINES => '27:-1', DEFTYPE => ushort }; ($x,$y) = rcols 'file3', { LINES => '27:', TYPES => [ ushort, ushort ] }; # read in the first column as a perl array and the next two as piddles ($x,$y,$name) = rcols 'file4', 1, 2, { PERLCOLS => [ 0 ] }; printf "Number of names read in = %d\n", 1 + $#$name; Notes: 1. Quotes are required on patterns. 2. Columns are separated by whitespace by default, use $PDL::IO::Misc::colsep to specify an alternate separator. 3. For PDL-2.003, the meaning of the 'c' value in the LINES option has changed: it now only counts matching lines rather than all lines as in previous versions of PDL. 4. LINES => '-1:0:3' may not work as you expect, since lines are skipped when read in, then the whole array reversed. wcols() Write ASCII whitespaced cols into file from piddles efficiently. If no columns are specified all are assumed. Will optionally only pro- cess lines matching a pattern. Can take file name or *HANDLE, and if no file/filehandle is given defaults to STDOUT. Options: HEADER - prints this string before the data. If the string is not ter- minated by a newline, one is added (default ''). Usage: wcols $piddle1, $piddle2,..., *HANDLE|"outfile", [\%options]; e.g., wcols $x, $y+2, 'foo.dat'; wcols $x, $y+2, *STDERR; wcols $x, $y+2, '|wc'; wcols $a,$b,$c; # Orthogonal version of 'print $a,$b,$c' :-) wcols "%10.3f", $a,$b; # Formatted wcols "%10.3f %10.5g", $a,$b; # Individual column formatting wcols $a,$b, { HEADER => "# a b" }; Note: columns are separated by whitespace by default, use $PDL::IO::Misc::colsep to specify an alternate separator. swcols() generate string list from "sprintf" format specifier and a list of pid- dles "swcols" takes an (optional) format specifier of the printf sort and a list of 1d piddles as input. It returns a perl array (or array refer- ence if called in scalar context) where each element of the array is the string generated by printing the corresponding element of the pid- dle(s) using the format specified. If no format is specified it uses the default print format. Usage: @str = swcols format, pdl1,pdl2,pdl3,...; or $str = swcols format, pdl1,pdl2,pdl3,...; rgrep() Read columns into piddles using full regexp pattern matching. Options: UNDEFINED: This option determines what will be done for undefined val- ues. For instance when reading a comma-separated file of the type "1,2,,4" where the ",," indicates a missing value. The default value is to assign $PDL::undefval to undefined values, but if "UNDEFINED" is set this is used instead. This would normally be set to a number, but if it is set to "Bad" and PDL is compiled with Bad- value support (see PDL::Bad) then undefined values are set to the appropriate badvalue and the column is marked as bad. DEFTYPE: Sets the default type of the columns - see the documentation for "rcols()" TYPES: A reference to a Perl array with types for each column - see the documentation for "rcols()" BUFFERSIZE: The number of lines to extend the piddle by. It might speed up the reading a little bit by setting this to the number of lines in the file, but in general "rasc()" is a better choice Usage ($x,$y,...) = rgrep(sub, *HANDLE|"filename") e.g. ($a,$b) = rgrep {/Foo (.*) Bar (.*) Mumble/} $file; i.e. the vectors $a and $b get the progressive values of $1, $2 etc. rdsa() Read a FIGARO/NDF format file. Requires non-PDL DSA module. Contact Frossie (frossie AT jach.edu) Usage: ([$xaxis],$data) = rdsa($file) $a = rdsa 'file.sdf' Not yet tested with PDL-1.9X versions isbigendian() Determine endianness of machine - returns 0 or 1 accordingly rasc() Simple function to slurp in ASCII numbers quite quickly, although error handling is marginal (to nonexistent). $pdl->rasc("filename"|FILEHANDLE [,$noElements]); Where: filename is the name of the ASCII file to read or open file handle $noElements is the optional number of elements in the file to read. (If not present, all of the file will be read to fill up $pdl). $pdl can be of type float or double for more precision. # (test.num is an ascii file with 20 numbers. One number per line.) $in = PDL->null; $num = 20; $in->rasc('test.num',20); $imm = zeroes(float,20,2); $imm->rasc('test.num'); rcube Read list of files directly into a large data cube (for efficiency) $cube = rcube \&reader_function, @files; $cube = rcube \&rfits, glob("*.fits"); This IO function allows direct reading of files into a large data cube, Obviously one could use cat() but this is more memory efficient. The reading function (e.g. rfits, readfraw) (passed as a reference) and files are the arguments. The cube is created as the same X,Y dims and datatype as the first image specified. The Z dim is simply the number of images. AUTHOR Copyright (C) Karl Glazebrook 1997 and Craig DeForest 2001, 2003. All rights reserved. There is no warranty.
