remove line spaces and add new line entry for array

sam.987 · 06-25-2017, 06:33 PM

Hi.

Is there a way to remove line break and extra spaces using awk or sed?

My input file is

Code:

[array([ 0.02845476,  0.02685638,  0.01360762,  0.01018389,  0.00817233,
        0.00769514,  0.00766023,  0.00871935,  0.00992978,  0.01282394,
        0.01833876,  0.03112197,  0.04668878,  0.03155843,  0.01698091,
        0.01226917,  0.00854671,  0.00798805,  0.00596485,  0.00646532,
        0.00658752,  0.00882022,  0.01276575,  0.03148277,  0.03787438,
        0.58244297]), 
array([ 0.035     ,  0.03807317,  0.01169512,  0.00759146,  0.00479878,
        0.00514634,  0.0037378 ,  0.00606707,  0.00528049,  0.00892683,
        0.00631707,  0.01397561,  0.01756098,  0.0159939 ,  0.00477439,
        0.00714024,  0.00343293,  0.00530488,  0.00282927,  0.00380488,
        0.00390854,  0.00551829,  0.00696951,  0.03689634,  0.0427439 ,
        0.6965122 ]),
 array([ 0.04180773,  0.037372  ,  0.01278474,  0.0072884 ,  0.00573145,
        0.00536573,  0.0049791 ,  0.00514629,  0.0049373 ,  0.00582027,
        0.00749216,  0.00933124,  0.01535005,  0.01035528,  0.00504702,
        0.00487983,  0.00304598,  0.00344828,  0.00279519,  0.00337513,
        0.00361024,  0.00460293,  0.00856844,  0.0260815 ,  0.10672414,
        0.65405956]), 
array([ 0.03015278,  0.02738889,  0.0125    ,  0.00875   ,  0.00736806,
        0.00672917,  0.00763889,  0.01044444,  0.01178472,  0.01470139,
        0.02020833,  0.03288194,  0.05940278,  0.03489583,  0.01829167,
        0.01255556,  0.00811111,  0.00670139,  0.00543056,  0.00570139,
        0.00616667,  0.00821528,  0.01138889,  0.02573611,  0.03044444,
        0.57640972]),

And my expected output is:

Aiming to remove line spaces and start a new line for every appearance of string "array"

Sounds like a good little problem. What have you done in an attempt to solve this and where are you stuck?

Surely. If the data are always that well structured, fairly straightforward with sed, else any of the scripting languages will do it. Awk included.
