Re: [Giffredo] Split table,Count and substitution character

Hello Giffredo,

I will try to walk through FishMonger's code.

Code

use Text::CSV_XS; 
 
my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new({ binary => 1, sep_char => ' ', eol => "\n" });

Uses the module Text::CSV_XS and he creates a Text::CSV_XS object in the code to parse and print the input line. Text::CSV splits the line on a single space for input, (sep_char => ' '), and also uses a space to separate the columns for output, print.

Code

while (my $line = $csv->getline(*DATA))

Here the program reads a line (from the *DATA filehandle - your program would use a filehandle for your input file instead).

Code

$cnt{'.'}  = $line->[4] =~ tr/././;  
$cnt{','}  = $line->[4] =~ tr/,/,/;

This code uses the transliteration (tr) operator to count the periods and commas in the column noted as $line->[4]. These counts are assigned to %cnt hash which stores the counts.

Code

$line->[5] = $cnt{'.'} . $cnt{','};

This sets array item 6, (arrays count starting with 0).

Code

$csv->print(*STDOUT, $line);

This code uses the Text::CSV object to print (to the screen). To print to an output file instead, you would replace *STDOUT with your output filehandle.

This code gives the results:

Code

chrM 136 A 6 ,,.......,, 74  
chrM 137 A 6 ,,,,,,.. 26  
chrM 138 A 6 ,,..,,,, 26  
chrM 139 C 6 ,,,..,,, 26  
chrM 140 C 6 ..,,, 23  
chrM 141 C 6 ,,,,,, 06  
chrM 142 T 6 ,,,,,, 06

To get your desired output, the code would need 1 or 2 minor changes.

Change

Code

$line->[5] = $cnt{'.'} . $cnt{','};

Code

splice @$line, 4, 2, "$cnt{'.'}:$cnt{','}";
