Help with key/value pairs	Can't Post

Hello to all,

I am a newbie to Perl and am having some problems with a program that uses key/value pairs. Below is my code.

Code

## A program to take an Interactome data set and convert to unicon format for JProNet 
 
# Example input 
# YLR291C	YNL229C	CCSB-Y2H 
# YLR291C	YCR086W	CCSB-Y2H 
# YLR291C	YPR062W	CCSB-Y2H 
# YJL085W	YBR057C	CCSB-Y2H 
# YLR227C	YDR208W	CCSB-Y2H 
# YER106W	YCR086W	CCSB-Y2H 
 
# Example Output 
# 1   1   2   1 
# 2   1   3   1 
# 3   1   4   1 
# 4   5   6   1 
# 5   7   3   1 
 
 
print "Please type the file to be converted: " ; 
 
$input = <STDIN> ; 
 
chomp $input ; 
 
# Does file exist? 
unless( -e $input) 
    { 
        print "File \"$input\" does not seem to exist!!\n"; 
        exit ; 
    } 
     
# Can we open the file? 
unless( open(INPUT, $input)) 
    { 
        print "Cannot open file \"$input\"\n\n" ; 
        exit ; 
    } 
 
#counter for nodes 
$i = 1 ; 
 
#counter for output file (iteration) 
$count = 0 ; 
 
#weight value for edge 
$weight = 1 ; 
 
#array for lines (collect so that we can print after header part of fiile 
@lines ; 
 
# $endvertex is the last node iterated ( not neccessarily the last node because of multiple links) 
$endvertex = 0 ; 
 
#hash for key/value pairs between nodes ( Y12345 => 1) 
%KeyMap ; 
     
while(<INPUT>) 
    { 
        foreach $line (<INPUT>) 
            { 
                chomp($line) ; 
                @tokens = split('\s\t', $line) ; 
                   
                $node1 = $token[0] ; 
                $node2 = $token[1] ; 
                 
                # MAP THE NODES TO VALUES    
                     
                    if(exists $KeyMap{'$node1}') 
                        { 
                        } 
                    else 
                        { 
                            $KeyMap('$node1' => '$i') ; 
                             
                            # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node) 
                            $endvertex = $KeyMap{'$node1'} ; 
                             
                            ++$i ; 
                        } 
                         
                    if(exists $KeyMap{'$node2'})                                
                        { 
                        } 
                    else 
                        { 
                            $KeyMap('$node2' => '$i') ; 
                             
                            # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node) 
                            $endvertex = $KeyMap{'$node2'} ; 
                             
                            ++$i ; 
                        } 
 
                # Collect output lines (exp. 1   1   2   1) 
                # Print nodes in ascending order (1   1  2  1) NOT (1   2   1   1) !!! 
                if($KeyMap[$node1] < $KeyMap[$node2]) 
                    { 
                        $lines[$count] = "$count+1   $KeyMap{'$node1'}   $KeyMap{'$node2'}   $weight" ; 
                        $count = $count + 1 ; 
                    } 
                else 
                    { 
                        $lines[$count] = "$count+1   $KeyMap{'$node2'}   $KeyMap{'$node1'}   $weight" ; 
                        $count = $count + 1 ; 
                    } 
            } 
    } 
        
    # Print out header to .unicon file 
    print "Chain\n\n" ; 
     
    print "Vertexnumber= $endvertex\n" ; # The number for the last vertex will be total 
    print "Startvertex=1\n" ; 
    print "endvertex = $endvertex\n"; 
    print "vertexadd=0\n" ; 
    print "sarig=0\n\n" ; # Extra line 
     
    print "chained\n" ; 
 
    print "contact\n\n" ; # Extra line 
     
    # Print out lines   
#    foreach($row @lines) 
#       { 
#           print "$row\n" ; 
#       }              
     
    print "contactend\n\n" ;           
 
close INPUT ;

The input file would look something similar to this:

Code

YLR291C	YNL229C	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YCR086W	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YPR062W	CCSB-Y2H 
YJL085W	YBR057C	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR227C	YDR208W	CCSB-Y2H 
YER106W	YCR086W	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR010C	YDR082W	CCSB-Y2H 
YDR013W	YPR135W	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YGR267C	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YOR111W	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YLR377C	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YHR112C	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YJR057W	CCSB-Y2H 
YLR291C	YCL028W	CCSB-Y2H 
YDR439W	YCR086W	CCSB-Y2H 
YFR008W	YMR029C	CCSB-Y2H

The output should look something akin to this:

Chain

Vertexnumber= 17
Startvertex= 1
endvertex= 17
vertexadd=0
sarig=0
chainend

contact

1 1 2 1
2 1 3 1
3 1 4 1
4 5 6 1
contactend

I believe that my problem is with the way I am setting up my key/value pairs. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Change this line:

@tokens = split('\s\t', $line) ;

change to:

@tokens = split(/\s+/, $line) ;

and retry your code

Re: [KevinR] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

No help. My output is only printing

Chain

Vertexnumber= 1
Startvertex=1
endvertex = 0
vertexadd=0
sarig=0

chained
contact

contactend

any more suggestions?

Re: [TheDragonReborn] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Are you using the strict pragma? If not then add this line of code to your script.

Code

use strict;

This is not correct.

Code

if(exists $KeyMap{'$node1}')

Should be:

Code

if(exists $KeyMap{$node1})

Also, this line looks wrong (which is done in more than one spot):

Code

$KeyMap('$node2' => '$i') ;

I believe that it should be more like this:

Code

$KeyMap{$node2} = $i;

Also, I would delete the quotes around the variable $node1 and $node2.

Like so:

Code

$KeyMap{$node1}; 
$KeyMap{$node2};

By doing it the way you have it written you should be getting a literal key/value pair called $node1 and $node2 instead of the value that $node1 and $node2 hold.

Re: [TheDragonReborn] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Maybe you understand the difference between single-quotes and double-quotes but your code does not reflect that. If not, you need to read up on single and double quoted strings and how the quotes affect variable interpolation/expansion.

I will get to reading about single and double quotes. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. However, the program still does not seem to be acting on the input file. Here is my updated code:

Re: [TheDragonReborn] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

I still see in your program:

$KeyMap({$node1} = $i) ;

That is wrong as has been previoulsy noted, it should be:

$KeyMap{$node1} = $i;

Re: [KevinR] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I missed that edit. However, still not processing the key/value pairs. I added some lines to help illustrate what I am trying to do in my new code:

Code

 
## A program to take an Interactome data set and convert to unicon format for JProNet

I am still unsure why the keys are not being assigned to values.
Any suggestions...

Re: [TheDragonReborn] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

add this line to your program:

Code

use warnings;

it will help with syntax problems, like here:

Code

while(INPUT)  
    {  
        foreach ($line (INPUT))  
         {

those four lines should be replaced with

Code

while(my $line = <INPUT>)  
    {

Fix that and retry your code.

Re: [KevinR] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Hello to all,

Still having problems with my code.

I am trying to point a string to an integer value. This is my input file

YLR291C YNL229C CCSB-Y2H
YLR291C YCR086W CCSB-Y2H
YLR291C YPR062W CCSB-Y2H
YJL085W YBR057C CCSB-Y2H
YLR227C YDR208W CCSB-Y2H

This is the desired output

YLR291C YNL229C
1 2
YLR291C YCR086W
1 3
YLR291C YPR062W
1 4
YJL085W YBR057C
5 6
YLR227C YDR208W
7 8

I am a novice to Perl and unsure what I am doing wrong. Here is
the code

Code

$dataFile = 'test.txt' ; 
 
unless(open(DATAFILE, $dataFile))  
    { 
        print "Error !! Did not read file.\n" ; 
        exit ; 
    } 
 
$x = 1 ; 
$i = 1 ; 
 
while($line = <DATAFILE>)  
    {     
        # Test file     
        #print $line ; 
         
        @tokens = split(/\s/, $line) ;  
            
        $node1 = $tokens[0] ;  
        $node2 = $tokens[1] ;  
         
        if($KeyMap{"$node1"}) 
            { 
                return $KeyMap{$node1} ; 
            } 
        else 
            { 
                %KeyMap = ($node1 => $i) ; 
                 
                # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node) 
                $endvertex = $KeyMap{$node1} ; 
                ++$i ; 
            }  
             
        if($KeyMap{"$node2"}) 
            { 
                return $KeyMap{$node2} ; 
            } 
        else 
            { 
                %KeyMap = ($node2 => $i) ; 
                 
                # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node) 
                $endvertex = $KeyMap{$node2} ; 
                ++$i ; 
            } 
         
        print $node1 , "   ", $node2 ,  "\n" ;     
        print $KeyMap{$node1}, "          ", $KeyMap{$node2},"\n" ; 
        ++$x ;          
    } 
     
    close DATAFILE ; 
    print "\nendvertex = $endvertex\n" ; 
     
exit ;

Any help would be great.

Whats the significance of the digits betwwen the lines?

1 2
1 3
1 4
etc

How do they relate to the data?

Re: [TheDragonReborn] Help with key/value pairs [In reply to]	Can't Post

Fixing a couple of things in your code produces the output you desire but I don't understand what those numbers signify.

Code

$dataFile = 'test.txt' ;  
  
unless(open(DATAFILE, $dataFile))   
    {  
        print "Error !! Did not read file.\n" ;  
        exit ;  
    }  
  
$x = 1 ;  
$i = 1 ;  
  
while($line = <DATA>)   
    {      
        # Test file      
        #print $line ;  
          
        @tokens = split(/\s/, $line) ;   
             
        $node1 = $tokens[0] ;   
        $node2 = $tokens[1] ;   
          
        if($KeyMap{"$node1"})  
            {  
#                return $KeyMap{$node1} ;  
            }  
        else  
            {  
                $KeyMap{$node1} = $i;  
                  
                # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node)  
                $endvertex = $KeyMap{$node1} ;  
                ++$i ;  
            }   
              
        if($KeyMap{"$node2"})  
            {  
#                return $KeyMap{$node2} ;  
            }  
        else  
            {  
                $KeyMap{$node2} = $i ;  
                  
                # Record the highest value node (Last increment will be highest node)  
                $endvertex = $KeyMap{$node2} ;  
                ++$i ;  
            }  
          
        print $node1 , "   ", $node2 ,  "\n" ;      
        print $KeyMap{$node1}, "          ", $KeyMap{$node2},"\n" ;  
        ++$x ;           
    }  
      
    close DATAFILE ;  
    print "\nendvertex = $endvertex\n" ;  
      
exit ;

Your use of the "return" function is not correct, but I am not sure what you are trying to do in those lines.
