Changing second column in csv conditionally





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have a csv file that looks like:



data/train/4/36280.png,four
data/train/2/10317.png,two
data/train/2/57890.png,two
data/train/1/53448.png,one
data/train/8/58233.png,eight
data/train/4/23599.png,four
data/train/2/35051.png,two
data/train/1/12323.png,one
data/train/9/18562.png,nine
data/train/8/46629.png,eight
data/train/7/1746.png,seven


Where first column is path and second is class. I would like to change the second column conditionally. In pseudo code I want something like:



If second column "four" change it to the next row's class


So far I've tried just to see if I can change ne class to another, but without success:



awk '{ if ($2 == "zero") $2="one"; print $0 }' train.csv > new_file.csv


gives me the same csv.



Basically I would like a script that gives me following output csv:



data/train/4/36280.png,seven
data/train/2/10317.png,four
data/train/2/57890.png,two
data/train/1/53448.png,two
data/train/8/58233.png,one
data/train/4/23599.png,eight
data/train/2/35051.png,four
data/train/1/12323.png,two
data/train/9/18562.png,one
data/train/8/46629.png,nine
data/train/7/1746.png,eight

  • You mean like `awk FS="," '{ if ($2 == "zero") $2="one"; print $0 }' train.csv > new_file.csv´ Next row class for line 1 is line 2, column 2. I basically want to shuffle the class in an easy way

bash solution:



readarray -t filename < <(cut -d ',' -f1 train.csv)
readarray -t class < <(cut -d ',' -f2 train.csv)

for (( i=0; i<${#filename[@]}; i++ )); do
printf '%s,%sn' "${filename[$i]}" "${class[$((i-1))]}";
done > new_file.csv




Equivalent awk solution:



awk -F, '
{
filename[NR]=$1
class[NR]=$2
}
END {
OFS=","
print filename[1],class[NR]
for (i=2;i<=NR;i++) {
print filename[i],class[i-1]
}
}
' train.csv > new_file.csv


Both solutions first read the lines into arrays filename and class. Only difference is that the bash array starts with 0, the awk array with 1.



Then, we loop over the arrays and print the desired output. In the awk solution, we need to treat the first line separately as, unlike in bash, array[-1] does not return the last element.



The awk solution is a bit faster.
