[Noob] Merging line of a file for consolidation...


Hi there,

I was wondering if somebody has already got this tricky one. I'm trying to consolidate a huge CSV file with a lot of values so server comparison. This file is similar to the example below:

server1;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server2;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server2;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server3;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server3;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server3;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0

server4;0;0;0;1;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0


As you can see, in server2 example, I need to merge all the occurrences of it replacing all zero values with a non zero value where applicable.

Not sure if I made myself clear. Any clues?

ummmm .. huh?? Is the idea that once you have run something over this file each server will only have a single entry where all the '1' values should prevail over a '0'?

I think OP is saying he wants to do a bitwise OR on a per-colum basis (for matching server #s). So:
Code:
server5;0;0;1;0
server5;1;1;1;0
Would compute to:
Code:
server5;1;1;1;0
Sounds like homework.
