Hi David,
I have text files containing 96 lines/records for each
and each line contains several columns. Only one
colummn for each line is printed out in 12x8 format in
a hard copy, which is what I want. But I can't
transfer data in hard copy (in 12x8 format) to excel
direclty. One way to do that is to enter each piece of
desired data one by one based on the hard copy, which
means mistake might easily arrise and is very tedious
when dealing with many files. So I build a
one-dimension array with 96 elelments out of one file
based on my understanding and the inputs from the
list.
>From the array I print out the results in 12x8 format
using nested loops to make sure what I get is
consistant with the hard copy.
Then I use splice function to get every 3 elements out
of the array
splice (@array, 0,3)
count "mean" from these elements and print it out.
use push function to put the spliced elements back to
the end of the array. By using a for loop( looping for
32 times) I get all the means and print all of them
out, separated by tab.
I get the standard error and standard deviation by
using the similar method.
I write all the results into a file. I then import the
results into excel.
This is what I do for reading files one by one. In
order to proccess many files in the same time I put
all the data files in one directory, use opendir and
readdir to get each file name, then follow the method
above to proccess all the files at one time.
I am not sure if this is the best way but it works for
me. At the same time I also want to know if there are
any ways/quick ways to let the job done. This is the
reason why I ask the list.
Thanks all for the input.
Li
