How to read a tab delimited values file with Matlab - arrays

I have tried the following approach:
array = tdfread('file.txt');
The structure of the file is:
value1\tvalue2\tvalue3...
where each value can be -1 or 1.
Anyway the result obtained is:
array =
x0x2D1: ''
x0x2D11: ''
x0x2D12: ''
x0x2D13: ''
x0x2D14: ''
x0x2D15: ''
x0x2D16: ''
x0x2D17: ''
x0x2D18: ''
x0x2D19: ''
x0x2D110: ''
x0x2D111: ''
x0x2D112: ''
x0x2D113: ''
x0x2D114: ''
x0x2D115: ''
x0x2D116: ''
x0x2D117: ''
x0x2D118: ''
x0x2D119: ''
x0x2D120: ''
x0x2D121: ''
x0x2D122: ''
x0x2D123: ''
x0x2D124: ''
x0x2D125: ''
x0x2D126: ''
x0x2D127: ''
x0x2D128: ''
x0x2D129: ''
...
I do not know where is the mistake.
Thanks

That's strange. You can try dlmread instead:
array = dlmread('file.txt', '\t');
Also note that dlmread is a native MATLAB function and doesn't require the Statistics Toolbox.

How to turn `''` into `Null` in PHP to send variables to the sql store procedure?

I am using Laravel 5.2 and SQL Server. I have a store procedure for search customer. When I run with Null value it return 0 rows. It should be return all of the data.
This below is my code in my controller to run the store procedure:
$name = $request['name'];
$email = $request['email'];
$lower_age = $request['lower_age'];
$upper_age = $request['upper_age'];
$gender = $request['gender'];
$maritalstatus = $request['maritalstatus'];
$search = DB::select("EXEC dbo.search '".$name."',
'".$email."',
'".$lower_age."',
'".$upper_age."',
'".$gender."',
'".$maritalstatus."'"
);
This is when I print_r my store procedure:
EXEC dbo.search '', '', '', '', '', ''
I need '' become NULL like this below:
EXEC dbo.search NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
Do you know how?
".($lower_age === '' ? 'null' : "'$lower_age'").",

SQL Logic to validate Parameter

I have parameter on sql , and I got an issue when it comes to this situation
declare #MonRemark varchar(10) = 's'
declare #ConfBy varchar(10)= 's'
declare #confstatus varchar(10)= 's'
declare #StatGD varchar(10)= ''
declare #StatGC varchar(50)= ''
declare #STATGTWO varchar(50)= ''
IF #MonRemark <> '' and (#ConfBy = '' OR #confstatus = '' and (#StatGD = '' or #StatGC = '' or #STATGTWO = '')) BEGIN
print 'a'
END
ELSE IF #ConfBy <> '' and (#MonRemark = '' OR #confstatus = '' AND (#StatGD = '' or #StatGC = '' or #STATGTWO = '')) BEGIN
print 'b'
END
ELSE IF #confstatus <> '' and #MonRemark = '' AND #ConfBy = '' AND (#StatGD = '' or #StatGC = '' or #STATGTWO = '') BEGIN
print 'c'
END
ELSE IF (#StatGD <> '' or #StatGC <> '' or #STATGTWO <> '') and #confstatus = '' AND #MonRemark = '' AND #ConfBy = '' BEGIN
print 'd'
END
ELSE BEGIN
print 'e'
END
if I filled parameter like what I write Above, I wish to get A , but it's always print E, is there any way to get A?
Change your condition. I think #Cyan and #JTR has provided enough explanation on why you get the value 'e'
Try like this, I have modified your condition to get the required results.
DECLARE #MonRemark VARCHAR(10) = 's'
DECLARE #ConfBy VARCHAR(10) = 's'
DECLARE #confstatus VARCHAR(10) = 's'
DECLARE #StatGD VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #StatGC VARCHAR(50) = ''
DECLARE #STATGTWO VARCHAR(50) = ''
IF #MonRemark <> ''
AND (
(
#ConfBy = ''
OR #confstatus = ''
)
OR (
#StatGD = ''
OR #StatGC = ''
OR #STATGTWO = ''
)
)
BEGIN
PRINT 'a'
END
ELSE IF #ConfBy <> ''
AND (
#MonRemark = ''
OR #confstatus = ''
AND (
#StatGD = ''
OR #StatGC = ''
OR #STATGTWO = ''
)
)
BEGIN
PRINT 'b'
END
ELSE IF #confstatus <> ''
AND #MonRemark = ''
AND #ConfBy = ''
AND (
#StatGD = ''
OR #StatGC = ''
OR #STATGTWO = ''
)
BEGIN
PRINT 'c'
END
ELSE IF (
#StatGD <> ''
OR #StatGC <> ''
OR #STATGTWO <> ''
)
AND #confstatus = ''
AND #MonRemark = ''
AND #ConfBy = ''
BEGIN
PRINT 'd'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
PRINT 'e'
END

Reduce multiple if else statement

I have the following 5 variables to check for a condition.
Example:
DECLARE #Col1 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col2 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col3 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col4 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col5 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #String VARCHAR(MAX)
IF #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = ''
BEGIN
SET #String = ''
END
ELSE IF #Col1 <> '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = ''
BEGIN
SET #String = '#Col1'
END
ELSE IF #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 <> '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = ''
BEGIN
SET #String = '#Col2'
END
ELSE IF #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 <> '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = ''
BEGIN
SET #String = '#Col3'
END
ELSE IF #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 <> '' AND #Col5 = ''
BEGIN
SET #String = '#Col4'
END
.....
.....
.....
As the above conditions show, there are many probabilities.
How can I reduce the occurrences of multiple if conditions?
You can use CASE WHEN:
SELECT #String = CASE
WHEN #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = '' THEN ''
WHEN #Col1 <> '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = '' THEN '#Col1'
WHEN #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 <> '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = '' THEN '#Col2'
WHEN #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 <> '' AND #Col4 = '' AND #Col5 = '' THEN '#Col3'
WHEN #Col1 = '' AND #Col2 = '' AND #Col3 = '' AND #Col4 <> '' AND #Col5 = '' THEN '#Col4'
ELSE NULL
END
SQL Server 2012+:
SELECT #String = COALESCE(IIF(#Col1 <> '', '#Col1', NULL),
IIF(#Col2 <> '', '#Col2', NULL),
IIF(#Col3 <> '', '#Col3', NULL),
IIF(#Col4 <> '', '#Col4', '' ));
EDIT:
DECLARE #Col1 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col2 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col3 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col4 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col5 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #String VARCHAR(MAX) = '';
IF #col1 <> ''
SET #String += '#col1';
IF #col2 <> ''
SET #String += '#col2';
IF #col3 <> ''
SET #String += '#col3';
...
IF #coln <> ''
SET #String += '#coln';
I would like to help as well, sorry for a different approach.
I took your case as something that can be stacked and I arrived at this.
DECLARE #Col1 VARCHAR(10) = 'test'
DECLARE #Col2 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col3 VARCHAR(10) = 'tet'
DECLARE #Col4 VARCHAR(10) = ''
DECLARE #Col5 VARCHAR(10) = 't'
DECLARE #String VARCHAR(MAX)
CREATE TABLE #cols (ColName NVARCHAR(150), ColVal NVARCHAR(150))
INSERT INTO #cols VALUES ('#Col1',#Col1),('#Col2',#Col2),('#Col3',#Col3),('#Col4',#Col4),('#Col5',#Col5)
-- if you want to just concatenate things without a delimiter, you can do this
SET #String = (SELECT ColName AS [text()] FROM #cols WHERE ColVal != '' FOR XML PATH(''))
SELECT #String
-- output #Col1#Col3#Col5
-- if you want to concatenate things with a delimiter, you can do this
SET #String = (SELECT ColName + ', ' AS [text()] FROM #cols WHERE ColVal != '' FOR XML PATH(''))
SELECT #String
-- output #Col1, #Col3, #Col5
DROP TABLE #cols
Hope this adds something to the idea. Please let me know if you have concerns.
You can do in one statement using case expressions:
SELECT #String = CASE WHEN #Col1 = '' THEN 'col1' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN #Col2 = '' THEN 'col2' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN #Col3 = '' THEN 'col3' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN #Col4 = '' THEN 'col4' ELSE '' END +
CASE WHEN #Col5 = '' THEN 'col5' ELSE '' END

What's wrong with my IF/ELSE? "ELSE: Incorrect syntax near 'ELSE'."

I have code similar to this:
DECLARE #IdentificationNumber INT
DECLARE #Foreign_ID BIGINT
IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [main-table] WHERE [identification-number] = #IdentificationNumber) > 0)
SET #Foreign_ID = (SELECT [Foreign_ID] FROM [main-table] WHERE [identification-number] = #IdentificationNumber)
BEGIN
UPDATE [main-table]
SET [column1] = '', [column2] = '', [column3] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
BEGIN
UPDATE [table2]
SET [column4] = '', [column5] = '', [column6] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
BEGIN
UPDATE [table3]
SET [column7] = '', [column8] = '', [column9] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
-- and so on, up to 14
ELSE -- "Incorrect syntax near 'ELSE'.
BEGIN
INSERT into ... -- blah blah blah.
END
...but I get an error while trying to use ELSE: Incorrect syntax near 'ELSE'.
IF - Else syntax is
If condition
begin
--statement
end
else
begin
--statement
end
In your query after First IF statement you bunch of Begin - End statements all those has to be wrapped inside a Begin - End . Like
IF ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [main-table] WHERE [identification-number] = #IdentificationNumber) > 0)
Begin -- Missing
SET #Foreign_ID = (SELECT [Foreign_ID] FROM [main-table] WHERE [identification-number] = #IdentificationNumber)
BEGIN
UPDATE [main-table]
SET [column1] = '', [column2] = '', [column3] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
BEGIN
UPDATE [table2]
SET [column4] = '', [column5] = '', [column6] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
BEGIN
UPDATE [table3]
SET [column7] = '', [column8] = '', [column9] = ''
WHERE [Foreign_ID] = #Foreign_ID
END
END -- Missing
else

sql server query concat string with '-'

In my SQL query, I'm trying to concatenate two strings in my select clause. Here's the expected results:
col A col B Result
null null &
null '' &
null XYZ XYC
'' null &
'' '' &
'' XYZ XYC
ABC null ABC
ABC '' ABC
ABC XYZ ABC-XYC
My challenge is this - how do I get the 'dash' to show up for the last scenario and not the others?
Here's my attempt:
DECLARE #ColA as varchar(10)
DECLARE #ColB as varchar(10)
set #ColA = null; set #ColB = null; select '&' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = null; set #ColB = ''; select '&' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = null; set #ColB = 'XYC'; select 'XYC' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = ''; set #ColB = null; select '&' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = ''; set #ColB = ''; select '&' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = ''; set #ColB = 'XYC'; select 'XYC' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = 'ABC';set #ColB = null; select 'ABC' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = 'ABC';set #ColB = ''; select 'ABC' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
set #ColA = 'ABC';set #ColB = 'XYC'; select 'ABC-XYC' as 'Expected', COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&') as 'Actual'
Do you think I have to do one giant case when? I have many columns like this, and that would make it unbearable to read.
Thanks!
UPDATE: if I use a case when, then my select looks like this, which seems to work, but is going to be a pain.
select
case when (#ColA is not null and #ColA <> '') and
(#ColB is not null and #ColB <> '')
then #ColA + '-' + #ColB
else COALESCE(NULLIF(COALESCE(#ColA, '') + COALESCE(#ColB, ''), ''), '&')
end
really hoping someone has some suggestions for improvement!
Could you use a searched case function like this?
Select Case When isnull(ColA, '') + isnull(ColB, '') == '' Then '&'
When isnull(ColA, '') <> '' and isnull(ColB, '') <> '' Then ColA + '-' + ColB
Else isnull(ColA, '') + isnull(ColB, '')
From Table1
I think this answer isn't a whole lot different than one of the other ones, but you might try this:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN NULLIF(ColA,'') <> '' AND NULLIF(ColB,'') <> ''
THEN ColA + '-' + ColB
WHEN NULLIF(ColA,'') <> '' OR NULLIF(ColB,'') <> ''
THEN COALESCE(ColA,ColB)
ELSE '&'
END
