Array Bash printing elements in a loop of multiple arrays - arrays

I have multiple arrays ( I limit it to 3 ) & first time using arrays
The length of the arrays are the same. They correspond to the same records
So array a, b and c values are listed below:
array a = 1 2 3 4 5
array b = a b c d e
array c = v w x y z
I need to print then content so the output is like this on each line
1 a v
2 b w
3 c x
4 d y
5 e z
Can you help?
Thanks

Here's a more bash-ful version (if you will):
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# initialize arrays
a=(1 2 3 4 5)
b=(a b c d e)
c=(v w x y z)
# count elements (assuming all arrays are the same size)
numElems=${#a[#]}
# loop over all elements
for (( i = 0; i < numElems; i++ )); do
# -e ensures that escape sequences such as \t are recognized
echo -e "${a[i]}\t${b[i]}\t${c[i]}"
done

This is how I worked it out, hopefully there is a better way. There are 3 arrays sample listed above, Each array has a list of values in it. Since they are of equal length. This is what can be done . The $'\t' puts a tab in between.
s=${#a[#]}
counter=0
echo $counter
while [[ $counter -lt $s ]];
do
echo ${a[$counter]} $'\t' ${b[$counter]} $'\t' ${c[$counter]}
counter=$(( $counter + 1 ))
done

2-dimensional array in Powershell [duplicate]

To accomplish with powershell:
Original
Transposed
0 1 2 3a b c d# $ # %
0 a #1 b $2 c #3 d %
how can a magic number be used (some regex in practice) where each original row has a variable number of columns so that only when the keyword occurs does that initiate a transpose?
Assuming that the original matrix is nx2 so something like:
a 1
b 2
c 3
d 4
a 5
d 6
a 7
b 8
c 9
The resulting matrix may very well be sparse, but each occurrence of a would signify a new column of output.
To transpose Rows to column conversion of file with powershell:
(Note that there is nothing in the referral that shows how magic numbers should be used to accomplish this)
$Orginal = #'
0 1 2 3
a b c d
# $ # %
'#
$Transposed = [Collections.ObjectModel.Collection[Object]]::new()
$Lines = $Orginal -Split '\r?\n'
for ($y = 0; $y -lt $Lines.Count; $y++) {
$Items = $lines[$y] -Split '\s+'
for ($x = 0; $x -lt $Items.Count; $x++) {
if ($x -ge $Transposed.Count) { $Transposed.Add((,#() * $Lines.Count)) }
$Transposed[$x][$y] = $Items[$x]
}
}
$Transposed |Foreach-Object { "$_" }
0 a #

Output looped array data to separate columns in bash

I have three loops which process array data and print to the same log file. I would like to sort the output of each loop into columns which are separated by tabs using bash code:
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
1 2 3
Notice: 1 stands for the content of loop 1, 2 stands for the content of loop 2 and 3 stands for the content of loop 3.
declare -a Array1
declare -a Array2
declare -a Array3
for (( i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++))
do
echo "${Array1[$i]}"
done | tee -a log.txt
for (( i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++))
do
echo "(( ${Array1[$i]}-${Array2[$i]} ))" | bc
done | tee -a log.txt
for (( i = 0 ; i < 9 ; i++))
do
echo "${Array3[$i]}"
done | tee -a log.txt
I tried some stuff with the column command, but it doesn't work out as outlined above.
The simplest option may be to use a single loop.
An alternative is to take the output format that you've got already and convert it into columns. This is one way of doing it:
# Read the concatenated results into an array, $results
IFS=$'\n' read -d '' -r -a results < log.txt
# Print the concatenated results in columns
for (( i=0 ; i<9; i++ )) ; do
printf '%s\t%s\t%s\n' "${results[i]}" "${results[i+9]}" "${results[i+18]}"
done
If you don't need the log.txt file, you could just put the results into an array as you calculate them (using as many loops as you like) and print them afterwards.

If statement for two different arrays in bash

I have two arrays, which are arrAlpha[] and arrPT[]. Array arrAlpha contains the Alphabets and array arrPT[] contains some of the plain letters.following is the code that i wrote in bash shell script to compare elements of both arrays and to store the position elements of arrPT[] in arrAlpha[] to array arrT[]. But when i run i feel like something is wrong in if statement to print out the elements in arrT[]. can anyone help me please?
#!/bin/bash
arrAlpha=(A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z)
arrPT=(E K N R S W )
lenPT=${#arrPT}
declare -A arrT
q=0
for((i=0; i<lenPT; i++)) do
for((j=i; j<26; j++)) do
if [ ${arrPT[$i]} = ${arrAlpha[$j]} ]; then
arrT[$q]=$j % 26;
((++q));
fi
done
done
echo ${arrAlpha[#]}
echo ${arrPT[#]}
echo ${arrT[#]}
the expected output is to change elements arrPT to number 0 to 25.
arrAlpha=(A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z)
arrPT =(E K N R S W)
arrT =(4 10 13 17 18 22)
Here's a fixed version of your script - there are some style changes that I prefer
arrAlpha=(A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z)
arrPT=(E K N R S W )
# array length needs index *
lenPT=${#arrPT[*]}
# seems arrT can be simple indexed array
declare -a arrT
q=0
for((i=0; i<lenPT; ++i)); do
for((j=0; j<26; ++j)); do
if [[ ${arrPT[i]} == ${arrAlpha[j]} ]]; then
# arithmetic inside $(())
arrT[q++]=$((j % 26))
fi
done
done
echo ${arrAlpha[#]}
echo ${arrPT[#]}
echo ${arrT[#]}
The main bug is with this line:
lenPT=${#arrPT}
which should be written like:
lenPT=${#arrPT[#]}
But, in fact, there is no need (even if it is not wrong to use it) for such variable, change this line:
for((i=0; i<lenPT; i++)) do
to:
for((i=0; i<${#arrPT[#]}; i++)) do
Some other issues:
There is no need to mod 26 the value of $j, it will never reach 26.
The array arrT seems to be an indexed array: -a no need for -A.
There is no need for variable q if each result will be in the same position as the index i
Please quote your expansions.
Use printf (more reliable) instead of echo.
The script with all the above done is:
#!/bin/bash
arrAlpha=(A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z)
arrPT=(E K N R S W )
declare -a arrT
for((i=0; i<${#arrPT[#]}; i++)) do
for((j=i; j<${#arrAlpha[#]}; j++)) do
[[ ${arrPT[i]} == "${arrAlpha[j]}" ]] && let arrT[i]=j
done
done
printf '%s ' "${arrAlpha[#]}" ; echo
printf '%3s ' "${arrPT[#]}" ; echo
printf '%3s ' "${arrT[#]}" ; echo
Of course, the second loop could be removed by cutting that string at the character:
#!/bin/bash
Alpha=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
arrPT=(E K N R S W )
declare -a arrT
for((i=0; i<${#arrPT[#]}; i++)) do
arrT[i]=${Alpha%"${arrPT[i]}"*} # cut the string at the character.
arrT[i]=${#arrT[i]} # Use the len of the cut string.
done
printf '%s ' "$Alpha" ; echo
printf '%3s ' "${arrPT[#]}" ; echo
printf '%3s ' "${arrT[#]}" ; echo

How can I find the sum of the elements of an array in Bash?

I am trying to add the elements of an array that is defined by user input from the read -a command. How can I do that?
read -a array
tot=0
for i in ${array[#]}; do
let tot+=$i
done
echo "Total: $tot"
Given an array (of integers), here's a funny way to add its elements (in bash):
sum=$(IFS=+; echo "$((${array[*]}))")
echo "Sum=$sum"
e.g.,
$ array=( 1337 -13 -666 -208 -408 )
$ sum=$(IFS=+; echo "$((${array[*]}))")
$ echo "$sum"
42
Pro: No loop, no subshell!
Con: Only works with integers
Edit (2012/12/26).
As this post got bumped up, I wanted to share with you another funny way, using dc, which is then not restricted to just integers:
$ dc <<< '[+]sa[z2!>az2!>b]sb1 2 3 4 5 6 6 5 4 3 2 1lbxp'
42
This wonderful line adds all the numbers. Neat, eh?
If your numbers are in an array array:
$ array=( 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 5 4 3 2 1 )
$ dc <<< '[+]sa[z2!>az2!>b]sb'"${array[*]}lbxp"
42
In fact there's a catch with negative numbers. The number '-42' should be given to dc as _42, so:
$ array=( -1.75 -2.75 -3.75 -4.75 -5.75 -6.75 -7.75 -8.75 )
$ dc <<< '[+]sa[z2!>az2!>b]sb'"${array[*]//-/_}lbxp"
-42.00
will do.
Pro: Works with floating points.
Con: Uses an external process (but there's no choice if you want to do non-integer arithmetic — but dc is probably the lightest for this task).
My code (which I actually utilize) is inspired by answer of gniourf_gniourf. I personally consider this more clear to read/comprehend, and to modify. Accepts also floating points, not just integers.
Sum values in array:
arr=( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 )
IFS='+' sum=$(echo "scale=1;${arr[*]}"|bc)
echo $sum # 55
With small change, you can get the average of values:
arr=( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 )
IFS='+' avg=$(echo "scale=1;(${arr[*]})/${#arr[#]}"|bc)
echo $avg # 5.5
gniourf_gniourf's answer is excellent since it doesn't require a loop or bc. For anyone interested in a real-world example, here's a function that totals all of the CPU cores reading from /proc/cpuinfo without messing with IFS:
# Insert each processor core count integer into array
cpuarray=($(grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | awk '{print $4}'))
# Read from the array and replace the delimiter with "+"
# also insert 0 on the end of the array so the syntax is correct and not ending on a "+"
read <<< "${cpuarray[#]/%/+}0"
# Add the integers together and assign output to $corecount variable
corecount="$((REPLY))"
# Echo total core count
echo "Total cores: $corecount"
I also found the arithmetic expansion works properly when calling the array from inside the double parentheses, removing the need for the read command:
cpuarray=($(grep cores /proc/cpuinfo | awk '{print $4}'))
corecount="$((${cpuarray[#]/%/+}0))"
echo "Total cores: $corecount"
Generic:
array=( 1 2 3 4 5 )
sum="$((${array[#]/%/+}0))"
echo "Total: $sum"
I'm a fan of brevity, so this is what I tend to use:
IFS="+";bc<<<"${array[*]}"
It essentially just lists the data of the array and passes it into BC which evaluates it. The "IFS" is the internal field separate, it essentially specifies how to separate arrays, and we said to separate them with plus signs, that means when we pass it into BC, it receives a list of numbers separated by plus signs, so naturally it adds them together.
Another dc & bash method:
arr=(1 3.88 7.1 -1)
dc -e "0 ${arr[*]/-/_} ${arr[*]/*/+} p"
Output:
10.98
The above runs the expression 0 1 3.88 7.1 _1 + + + + p with dc. Note the dummy value 0 because there's one too many +s, and also note the usual negative number prefix - must be changed to _ in dc.
arr=(1 2 3) //or use `read` to fill the array
echo Sum of array elements: $(( ${arr[#]/%/ +} 0))
Sum of array elements: 6
Explanation:
"${arr[#]/%/ +}" will return 1 + 2 + 3 +
By adding additional zero at the end we will get 1 + 2 + 3 + 0
By wrapping this string with BASH's math operation like this$(( "${arr[#]/%/ +} 0")), it will return the sum instead
This could be used for other math operations.
For subtracting just use - instead
For multiplication use * and 1 instead of 0
Can be used with logic operators too.
BOOL AND EXAMPLE - check if all items are true (1)
arr=(1 0 1)
if [[ $((${arr[#]/%/ &} 1)) -eq 1 ]]; then echo "yes"; else echo "no"; fi
This will print: no
BOOL OR EXAMPLE - check if any item is true (1)
arr=(1 0 0)
if [[ $((${arr[#]/%/ |} 0)) -eq 1 ]]; then echo "yes"; else echo "no"; fi
This will print: yes
A simple way
function arraySum
{
sum=0
for i in ${a[#]};
do
sum=`expr $sum + $i`
done
echo $sum
}
a=(7 2 3 9)
echo -n "Sum is = "
arraySum ${a[#]}
I find this very simple using an increasing variable:
result2=0
for i in ${lineCoffset[#]};
do
result2=$((result2+i))
done
echo $result2

How to slice an array in Bash

Looking the "Array" section in the bash(1) man page, I didn't find a way to slice an array.
So I came up with this overly complicated function:
#!/bin/bash
# #brief: slice a bash array
# #arg1: output-name
# #arg2: input-name
# #args: seq args
# ----------------------------------------------
function slice() {
local output=$1
local input=$2
shift 2
local indexes=$(seq $*)
local -i i
local tmp=$(for i in $indexes
do echo "$(eval echo \"\${$input[$i]}\")"
done)
local IFS=$'\n'
eval $output="( \$tmp )"
}
Used like this:
$ A=( foo bar "a b c" 42 )
$ slice B A 1 2
$ echo "${B[0]}" # bar
$ echo "${B[1]}" # a b c
Is there a better way to do this?
See the Parameter Expansion section in the Bash man page. A[#] returns the contents of the array, :1:2 takes a slice of length 2, starting at index 1.
A=( foo bar "a b c" 42 )
B=("${A[#]:1:2}")
C=("${A[#]:1}") # slice to the end of the array
echo "${B[#]}" # bar a b c
echo "${B[1]}" # a b c
echo "${C[#]}" # bar a b c 42
echo "${C[#]: -2:2}" # a b c 42 # The space before the - is necesssary
Note that the fact that a b c is one array element (and that it contains an extra space) is preserved.
There is also a convenient shortcut to get all elements of the array starting with specified index. For example "${A[#]:1}" would be the "tail" of the array, that is the array without its first element.
version=4.7.1
A=( ${version//\./ } )
echo "${A[#]}" # 4 7 1
B=( "${A[#]:1}" )
echo "${B[#]}" # 7 1
Array slicing like in Python (From the rebash library):
array_slice() {
local __doc__='
Returns a slice of an array (similar to Python).
From the Python documentation:
One way to remember how slices work is to think of the indices as pointing
between elements, with the left edge of the first character numbered 0.
Then the right edge of the last element of an array of length n has
index n, for example:
```
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+
0 1 2 3 4 5 6
-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1
```
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice 1:-2 "${a[#]}")
1 2 3
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice 0:1 "${a[#]}")
0
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> [ -z "$(array.slice 1:1 "${a[#]}")" ] && echo empty
empty
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> [ -z "$(array.slice 2:1 "${a[#]}")" ] && echo empty
empty
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> [ -z "$(array.slice -2:-3 "${a[#]}")" ] && echo empty
empty
>>> [ -z "$(array.slice -2:-2 "${a[#]}")" ] && echo empty
empty
Slice indices have useful defaults; an omitted first index defaults to
zero, an omitted second index defaults to the size of the string being
sliced.
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> # from the beginning to position 2 (excluded)
>>> echo $(array.slice 0:2 "${a[#]}")
>>> echo $(array.slice :2 "${a[#]}")
0 1
0 1
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> # from position 3 (included) to the end
>>> echo $(array.slice 3:"${#a[#]}" "${a[#]}")
>>> echo $(array.slice 3: "${a[#]}")
3 4 5
3 4 5
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> # from the second-last (included) to the end
>>> echo $(array.slice -2:"${#a[#]}" "${a[#]}")
>>> echo $(array.slice -2: "${a[#]}")
4 5
4 5
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice -4:-2 "${a[#]}")
2 3
If no range is given, it works like normal array indices.
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice -1 "${a[#]}")
5
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice -2 "${a[#]}")
4
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice 0 "${a[#]}")
0
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> echo $(array.slice 1 "${a[#]}")
1
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> array.slice 6 "${a[#]}"; echo $?
1
>>> local a=(0 1 2 3 4 5)
>>> array.slice -7 "${a[#]}"; echo $?
1

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I was inspired by #jandob's answer and made this version that
Is simpler (doesn't have so much shift logic or rewriting of variables as often).
Respects quoted strings without dealing with IFS (-r mode only).
Allows the user to specify [start, end) slicing or [start, length] slicing via -l flag.
Allows you to echo the resulting array (default behavior), or "return" it into a new array for use in the calling parent (via -r slicedArray).
Note: namerefs are only supported in Bash >= 4.3. To support earlier versions of Bash (i.e. Mac without Brew's bash), you'll need to use indirection instead: use a temp var to access array parameters, e.g. declare arrValuesCmd="$1[#]"; declare arr=("${!arrValuesCmd}"), and use eval for return values, e.g. eval $retArrName='("${newArr[#]}")' (note the single quotes around the array declaration).
array.slice() {
# array.slice [-l] [-r returnArrayName] myArray 3 5
# Default functionality is to use second number as end index for slice (exclusive).
# Can instead use second number as length by passing `-l` flag.
# `echo` doesn't maintain quoted entries, so pass in `-r returnArrayName` to keep them.
