How do i copy an array from a lua file - arrays

I Want to copy an array from a text file and make another array equal it
so
local mapData = {
grass = {
cam = "hud",
x = 171,
image = "valley/grass",
y = 168,
animated = true
}
}
This is an array that is in Data.lua
i want to copy this array and make it equal another array
local savedMapData = {}
savedMapData = io.open('Data.lua', 'r')
Thank you.

It depends on Lua Version what you can do further.
But i like questions about file operations.
Because filehandlers in Lua are Objects with methods.
The datatype is userdata.
That means it has methods that can directly be used on itself.
Like the methods for the datatype string.
Therefore its easy going to do lazy things like...
-- Example open > reading > loading > converting > defining
-- In one Line - That is possible with methods on datatype
-- Lua 5.4
local savedMapData = load('return {' .. io.open('Data.lua'):read('a'):gsub('^.*%{', ''):gsub('%}.*$', '') .. '}')()
for k, v in pairs(savedMapData) do print(k, '=>', v) end
Output should be...
cam => hud
animated => true
image => valley/grass
y => 168
x => 171
If you need it in the grass table then do...
local savedMapData = load('return {grass = {' .. io.open('Data.lua'):read('a'):gsub('^.*%{', ''):gsub('%}.*$', '') .. '}}')()
The Chain of above methods do...
io.open('Data.lua') - Creates Filehandler (userdata) in read only mode
(userdata):read('a') - Reading whole File into one (string)
(string):gsub('^.*%{', '') - Replace from begining to first { with nothing
(string):gsub('%}.*$', '') - Replace from End to first } with nothing

Saving json array output to txt file and getting errors when attempting to parse

I am unable to parse a JSON array from a text file due to errors and my limited knowledge of JSON.
The file looks something like this [{"random":"fdjsf","random56":128,"name":"dsfjsd", "rid":1243,"rand":674,"name":"dsfjsd","random43":722, "rid":126},{"random":"fdfgfgjsf","random506":120,"name":"dsfjcvcsd", "rid":12403,"rando":670,"name":"dsfooojsd","random4003":720, "rid":120}] It has more than one object({}) in the entire array however I did not want to include all 600. The layout shown above is basically how all of them look.
r = s.get(getAPI, headers=header, verify=False)
f = open('text.txt', 'w+')
f.write(r.text)
f.close
output_file = open ('text.txt', 'r')
json_array = json.load(output_file)
json_list = []
for item in json_array:
name = "name"
rid = "rid"
json_items = {name:None, rid:None}
json_items = [name] = item[name]
json_items = [rid] = item[rid]
json_list.append(json_items)
print(json_list)
I would like to loop through an array and find any time it says "name":... eventually followed by "rid":... and store those in a dictionary as key value pairs.
Errors:
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 1)
There is a syntax error when you assign values to json_items, change it to:
json_items[name] = item[name]
json_items[rid] = item[rid]

Booleans, arrays, and not typing 256 possible scenarios

I'm trying to make a program based around 8 boolean statements.
I build the array = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0];.
For each possible combination I need to make the program output a different text.
To make things simpler, I can remove any possibilities that contain less than 3 true statements.
For example: if (array === [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0]){console.log('Targets: 4, 5, 6, 7')};
Is it possible to have it set so that if the value is false it's added to then end of "Targets: "? I'm very new to coding as a hobby and have only made 1 extensive program. I feel like {console.log("Targets: " + if(array[0]===0){console.log(" 1,")} + if(array[2]===0)...}would portay what I'm looking for but it's terrible as a code.
I'm sure that someone has had this issue before but I don't think I'm experienced enough to be searching with the correct keywords.
PS: I'd greatly appreciate it if we can stick to the very basics as I haven't had any luck with installing new elements other than discord.js.
This does what you need:
const values = [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0];
const positions = values.map((v, i) => !v ? i : null).filter(v => v != null);
console.log('Target: ' + positions.join(', '));
In essence:
Map each value to its respective index if the value is falsy (0 is considered falsy), otherwise map it to null.
Filter out all null values.
Join all remaining indexes to a string.
To address your additional requirements:
const locations = ['Trees', 'Rocks', 'L1', 'R1', 'L2', 'R2', 'L3', 'R3'];
const values = [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0];
const result = values.map((v, i) => !v ? locations[i] : null).filter(v => v != null);
console.log('Target: ' + result.join(', '));

Scala read only certain parts of file

I'm trying to read an input file in Scala that I know the structure of, however I only need every 9th entry. So far I have managed to read the whole thing using:
val lines = sc.textFile("hdfs://moonshot-ha-nameservice/" + args(0))
val fields = lines.map(line => line.split(","))
The issue, this leaves me with an array that is huge (we're talking 20GB of data). Not only have I seen myself forced to write some very ugly code in order to convert between RDD[Array[String]] and Array[String] but it's essentially made my code useless.
I've tried different approaches and mixes between using
.map()
.flatMap() and
.reduceByKey()
however nothing actually put my collected "cells" into the format that I need them to be.
Here's what is supposed to happen: Reading a folder of text files from our server, the code should read each "line" of text in the format:
*---------*
| NASDAQ: |
*---------*
exchange, stock_symbol, date, stock_price_open, stock_price_high, stock_price_low, stock_price_close, stock_volume, stock_price_adj_close
and only keep a hold of the stock_symbol as that is the identifier I'm counting. So far my attempts have been to turn the entire thing into an array only collect every 9th index from the first one into a collected_cells var. Issue is, based on my calculations and real life results, that code would take 335 days to run (no joke).
Here's my current code for reference:
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
object SparkNum {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
// Do some Scala voodoo
val sc = new SparkContext(new SparkConf().setAppName("Spark Numerical"))
// Set input file as per HDFS structure + input args
val lines = sc.textFile("hdfs://moonshot-ha-nameservice/" + args(0))
val fields = lines.map(line => line.split(","))
var collected_cells:Array[String] = new Array[String](0)
//println("[MESSAGE] Length of CC: " + collected_cells.length)
val divider:Long = 9
val array_length = fields.count / divider
val casted_length = array_length.toInt
val indexedFields = fields.zipWithIndex
val indexKey = indexedFields.map{case (k,v) => (v,k)}
println("[MESSAGE] Number of lines: " + array_length)
println("[MESSAGE] Casted lenght of: " + casted_length)
for( i <- 1 to casted_length ) {
println("[URGENT DEBUG] Processin line " + i + " of " + casted_length)
var index = 9 * i - 8
println("[URGENT DEBUG] Index defined to be " + index)
collected_cells :+ indexKey.lookup(index)
}
println("[MESSAGE] collected_cells size: " + collected_cells.length)
val single_cells = collected_cells.flatMap(collected_cells => collected_cells);
val counted_cells = single_cells.map(cell => (cell, 1).reduceByKey{case (x, y) => x + y})
// val result = counted_cells.reduceByKey((a,b) => (a+b))
// val inmem = counted_cells.persist()
//
// // Collect driver into file to be put into user archive
// inmem.saveAsTextFile("path to server location")
// ==> Not necessary to save the result as processing time is recorded, not output
}
}
The bottom part is currently commented out as I tried to debug it, but it acts as pseudo-code for me to know what I need done. I may want to point out that I am next to not at all familiar with Scala and hence things like the _ notation confuse the life out of me.
Thanks for your time.
There are some concepts that need clarification in the question:
When we execute this code:
val lines = sc.textFile("hdfs://moonshot-ha-nameservice/" + args(0))
val fields = lines.map(line => line.split(","))
That does not result in a huge array of the size of the data. That expression represents a transformation of the base data. It can be further transformed until we reduce the data to the information set we desire.
In this case, we want the stock_symbol field of a record encoded a csv:
exchange, stock_symbol, date, stock_price_open, stock_price_high, stock_price_low, stock_price_close, stock_volume, stock_price_adj_close
I'm also going to assume that the data file contains a banner like this:
*---------*
| NASDAQ: |
*---------*
The first thing we're going to do is to remove anything that looks like this banner. In fact, I'm going to assume that the first field is the name of a stock exchange that start with an alphanumeric character. We will do this before we do any splitting, resulting in:
val lines = sc.textFile("hdfs://moonshot-ha-nameservice/" + args(0))
val validLines = lines.filter(line => !line.isEmpty && line.head.isLetter)
val fields = validLines.map(line => line.split(","))
It helps to write the types of the variables, to have peace of mind that we have the data types that we expect. As we progress in our Scala skills that might become less important. Let's rewrite the expression above with types:
val lines: RDD[String] = sc.textFile("hdfs://moonshot-ha-nameservice/" + args(0))
val validLines: RDD[String] = lines.filter(line => !line.isEmpty && line.head.isLetter)
val fields: RDD[Array[String]] = validLines.map(line => line.split(","))
We are interested in the stock_symbol field, which positionally is the element #1 in a 0-based array:
val stockSymbols:RDD[String] = fields.map(record => record(1))
If we want to count the symbols, all that's left is to issue a count:
val totalSymbolCount = stockSymbols.count()
That's not very helpful because we have one entry for every record. Slightly more interesting questions would be:
How many different stock symbols we have?
val uniqueStockSymbols = stockSymbols.distinct.count()
How many records for each symbol do we have?
val countBySymbol = stockSymbols.map(s => (s,1)).reduceByKey(_+_)
In Spark 2.0, CSV support for Dataframes and Datasets is available out of the box
Given that our data does not have a header row with the field names (what's usual in large datasets), we will need to provide the column names:
val stockDF = sparkSession.read.csv("/tmp/quotes_clean.csv").toDF("exchange", "symbol", "date", "open", "close", "volume", "price")
We can answer our questions very easy now:
val uniqueSymbols = stockDF.select("symbol").distinct().count
val recordsPerSymbol = stockDF.groupBy($"symbol").agg(count($"symbol"))

Reading and Writing Arrays from Multiple HDF Files in IDL

I am fairly new to IDL, and I am trying to write a code that will take a MODIS HDF file (level three data MOD14A1 and MYD14A1 to be specific), read the array, and then write the data from the array preferably to a csv file, but ASCII would work, too. I have code that will allow me to do this for one file, but I want to be able to do this for multiple files. Essentially, I want it to read one HDF array, write it to a csv, move to the next HDF file, and then write that array to the same csv file in the next row. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I've supplied the code I have so far to do this with one file.
filename = dialog_pickfile(filter = filter, path = path, title = title)
csv_file = 'Data.csv'
sd_id = HDF_SD_START(filename, /READ)
; read "FirePix", "MaxT21"
attr_index = HDF_SD_ATTRFIND(sd_id, 'FirePix')
HDF_SD_ATTRINFO, sd_id, attr_index, DATA = FirePix
attr_index = HDF_SD_ATTRFIND(sd_id, 'MaxT21')
HDF_SD_ATTRINFO, sd_id, attr_index, DATA = MaxT21
index = HDF_SD_NAMETOINDEX(sd_id, 'FireMask')
sds_id = HDF_SD_SELECT(sd_id, index)
HDF_SD_GETDATA, sds_id, FireMask
HDF_SD_ENDACCESS, sds_id
index = HDF_SD_NAMETOINDEX(sd_id, 'MaxFRP')
sds_id = HDF_SD_SELECT(sd_id, index)
HDF_SD_GETDATA, sds_id, MaxFRP
HDF_SD_ENDACCESS, sds_id
HDF_SD_END, sd_id
help, FirePix
print, FirePix, format = '(8I8)'
print, MaxT21, format = '("MaxT21:", F6.1, " K")'
help, FireMask, MaxFRP
WRITE_CSV, csv_file, FirePix
After I run this, and choose the correct file, this is the output I am getting:
FIREPIX LONG = Array[8]
0 4 0 0 3 12 3 0
MaxT21: 402.1 K
FIREMASK BYTE = Array[1200, 1200, 8]
MAXFRP LONG = Array[1200, 1200, 8]
The "FIREPIX" array is the one I want stored into a csv.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Instead of using WRITE_CSV, it is fairly simple to use the primitive IO routines to write a comma-separated array, i.e.:
openw, lun, csv_file, /get_lun
; the following line produces a single line the output CSV file
printf, lun, strjoin(strtrim(firepix, 2), ', ')
; TODO: do the above line as many times as necessary
free_lun, sun

writing p-values to file in R

Can someone help me with this piece of code. In a loop I'm saving p-values in f and then I want to write the p-values to a file but I don't know which function to use to write to file. I'm getting error with write function.
{
f = fisher.test(x, y = NULL, hybrid = FALSE, alternative = "greater",
conf.int = TRUE, conf.level = 0.95, simulate.p.value = FALSE)
write(f, file="fisher_pvalues.txt", sep=" ", append=TRUE)
}
Error in cat(list(...), file, sep, fill, labels, append) :
argument 1 (type 'list') cannot be handled by 'cat'
The return value from fisher.test is (if you read the docs):
Value:
A list with class ‘"htest"’ containing the following components:
p.value: the p-value of the test.
conf.int: a confidence interval for the odds ratio. Only present in
the 2 by 2 case and if argument ‘conf.int = TRUE’.
etc etc. R doesn't know how to write things like that to a file. More precisely, it doesn't know how YOU want it written to a file.
If you just want to write the p value, then get the p value and write that:
write(f$p.value,file="foo.values",append=TRUE)
f is an object of class 'htest', so writing it to a file will write much more than just the p-value.
If you do want to simply save a written representation of the results to a file, just as they appear on the screen, you can use capture.output() to do so:
Convictions <-
matrix(c(2, 10, 15, 3),
nrow = 2,
dimnames =
list(c("Dizygotic", "Monozygotic"),
c("Convicted", "Not convicted")))
f <- fisher.test(Convictions, alternative = "less")
capture.output(f, file="fisher_pvalues.txt", append=TRUE)
More likely, you want to just store the p-value. In that case you need to extract it from f before writing it to the file, using code something like this:
write(paste("p-value from Experiment 1:", f$p.value, "\n"),
file = "fisher_pvalues.txt", append=TRUE)
