merge columns from multiple files in a directory based on match of two columns
Hi all,
I want to merge columns from multiple files(each file may have different number of columns and different column headers but only two headers in common) in a directory based on match of two common columns.Below are the sample files file1 NAME,Time,Rx_bytes,Tx_bytes,SNR a,11:01:00,1,2,, c,11:01:00,3,4,5 e,11:01:00,6,, file2 NAME,Time,Speed,RPM g,11:01:00,34,56 i,11:01:00,45,55 a,11:02:00,45,65 file3 NAME,Time,Cycles,Errors,BW c,11:01:00,2,3,4 e,11:01:00,32,21,34 a,11:01:00,68,79, g,11:01:00,33,44, k,11:01:00,23,34,54 ...and so on some files like this I need the output like this result_file1.csv NAME,Time,Rx_bytes,Tx_bytes,SNR,Speed,RPM,Cycles,Errors,BW a,11:01:00,1,2,,,,68,79, a,11:02:00,,,,45,65,,, result_file2.csv NAME,Time,Rx_bytes,Tx_bytes,SNR,Cycles,Errors,BW c,11:01:00,3,4,5,2,3,4,32,21,34 result_file3.csv NAME,Time,Speed,RPM,Cycles,Errors,BW e,11:01:00,6,, result_file4.csv NAME,Time,Speed,RPM,Cycles,Errors,BW g,11:01:00,34,56,33,44, and so on like this. I want to form result files based on the column 'NAME' and with sorted 'TIME' Thanks in advance |
So, what code have you got so far?
|
Firstly, please use [code][/code] tags around code and data.
Also, please provide details on how the result files are to get the extra columns shown? Where does the information for the extra columns come from? And as above, what have you done so far and if looking for a complete start, what language are you looking to use? |
