Name

tabslide - template sliding through large ascii datasets

Synopsis

tabslide in=- [parameter=value]

Description

This programs does nothing useful yet, is meant as a template to slide through large ASCII tables and doing useful work on sections of data. The template simply sums all the listed columns and rows.

Warning: for data not in a pipe, the nmax= parameter is ignored, since nemo_file_lines is used (see file_lines(3NEMO) ).

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
in=
input (table) file name (should be a pipe, ie. "-"). No default
xcol=
column(s) to be read, multiple columns are allowed. [Default: 1].
nmax=
Default max allocation for data in a pipe. [10000]

Example

For a compressed table 5body0.dat.gz (63MB), which has 2808998 rows and 8 columns, the following measurements were obtained on a P4/1.6GHz laptop (nominal peak I/O around 20MB/sec)
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | sum                    10"
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | wc                        56"
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | awk ’END{print NF,NR}’            35"
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | awk ’{sum+=$1}END{print sum,NF,NR}’    40"
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | tabslide -                    34"
zcat 5body0.dat.gz | tabslide -  nmax=100000            35"
