+.TH RS 1 "December 30, 1993" +.UC 4 +.SH NAME +rs \- reshape a data array +.SH SYNOPSIS +\fBrs [ \-[csCS][\fRx\fB][kKgGw][\fRN\fB]tTeEnyjhHm ] [ \fRrows\fB [ \fRcols\fB ] ]\fR +.SH DESCRIPTION +.I Rs +reads the standard input, interpreting each line as a row +of blank-separated entries in an array, +transforms the array according to the options, +and writes it on the standard output. +With no arguments it transforms stream input into a columnar +format convenient for terminal viewing. +.PP +The shape of the input array is deduced from the number of lines +and the number of columns on the first line. +If that shape is inconvenient, a more useful one might be +obtained by skipping some of the input with the \fB\-k\fP option. +Other options control interpretation of the input columns. +.PP +The shape of the output array is influenced by the +.I rows +and +.I cols +specifications, which should be positive integers. +If only one of them is a positive integer, +.I rs +computes a value for the other which will accommodate +all of the data. +When necessary, missing data are supplied in a manner +specified by the options and surplus data are deleted. +There are options to control presentation of the output columns, +including transposition of the rows and columns. +.PP +The options are described below. +.IP \fB\-c\fRx +Input columns are delimited by the single character \fIx\fP. +A missing \fIx\fP is taken to be `^I'. +.IP \fB\-s\fRx +Like \fB\-c\fR, but maximal strings of \fIx\fP are delimiters. +.IP \fB\-C\fRx +Output columns are delimited by the single character \fIx\fP. +A missing \fIx\fP is taken to be `^I'. +.IP \fB\-S\fRx +Like \fB\-C\fR, but padded strings of \fIx\fP are delimiters. +.IP \fB\-t\fR +Fill in the rows of the output array using the columns of the +input array, that is, transpose the input while honoring any +.I rows +and +.I cols +specifications. +.IP \fB\-T\fR +Print the pure transpose of the input, ignoring any +.I rows +or +.I cols +specification. +.IP \fB\-k\fRN +Ignore the first \fIN\fR lines of input. +.IP \fB\-K\fRN +Like \fB\-k\fR, but print the ignored lines. +.IP \fB\-g\fRN +The gutter width (inter-column space), normally 2, is taken to be \fIN\fR. +.IP \fB\-G\fRN +The gutter width has \fIN\fR percent of the maximum +column width added to it. +.IP \fB\-e\fR +Consider each line of input as an array entry. +.IP \fB\-n\fR +On lines having fewer entries than the first line, +use null entries to pad out the line. +Normally, missing entries are taken from the next line of input. +.IP \fB\-y\fR +If there are too few entries to make up the output dimensions, +pad the output by recycling the input from the beginning. +Normally, the output is padded with blanks. +.IP \fB\-h\fR +Print the shape of the input array and do nothing else. +The shape is just the number of lines and the number of +entries on the first line. +.IP \fB\-H\fR +Like \fB\-h\fR, but also print the length of each line. +.IP \fB\-j\fR +Right adjust entries within columns. +.IP \fB\-w\fRN +The width of the display, normally 80, is taken to be the positive +integer \fIN\fP. +.IP \fB\-m\fR +Do not trim excess delimiters from the ends of the output array. +.PP +With no arguments, +.I rs +transposes its input, and assumes one array entry per input line +unless the first non-ignored line is longer than the display width. +Option letters which take numerical arguments interpret a missing +number as zero unless otherwise indicated. +.SH EXAMPLES +.de IC +.IP +.ss 36 +.ft B +.. +.de NC +.br +.ss 12 +.PP +.. +.I Rs +can be used as a filter to convert the stream output +of certain programs (e.g., +.IR spell , +.IR du , +.IR file , +.IR look , +.IR nm , +.IR who , +and +.IR wc (1)) +into a convenient ``window'' format, as in +.IC +who | rs +.NC +This function has been incorporated into the +.IR ls (1) +program, though for most programs with similar output +.I rs +suffices. +.PP +To convert stream input into vector output and back again, use +.IC +rs 1 0 | rs 0 1 +.NC +A 10 by 10 array of random numbers from 1 to 100 and +its transpose can be generated with +.IC +jot \-r 100 | rs 10 10 | tee array | rs \-T > tarray +.NC +In the editor +.IR vi (1), +a file consisting of a multi-line vector with 9 elements per line +can undergo insertions and deletions, +and then be neatly reshaped into 9 columns with +.IC +:1,$!rs 0 9 +.NC +Finally, to sort a database by the first line of each 4-line field, try +.IC +rs \-eC 0 4 | sort | rs \-c 0 1 +.NC +.SH SEE ALSO +jot(1), vi(1), sort(1), pr(1) +.SH BUGS +Handles only two dimensional arrays. + +The algorithm currently reads the whole file into memory, +so files that do not fit in memory will not be reshaped. + +Fields cannot be defined yet on character positions. + +Re-ordering of columns is not yet possible. + +There are too many options. |
