38 **What it does**
|
|
|
39
|
|
|
40 This tool runs the unix **awk** command on the selected data file.
|
|
|
41
|
|
|
42 .. class:: infomark
|
|
|
43
|
|

|
44 **TIP:**
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 This tool uses the **extended regular** expression syntax (not the perl syntax).
|
|
|
47 **\\d**, **\\w**, **\\s** etc. are **not** supported.

60 **AWK programs**
|
|
|
61
|
|
|
62 Most AWK programs consist of **patterns** (i.e. rules that match lines of text) and **actions** (i.e. commands to execute when a pattern matches a line).
|
|
|
63
|
|
|
64 The basic form of AWK program is::
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 pattern { action 1; action 2; action 3; }
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69
|
|
|
70 **Pattern Examples**
|
|
|
71
|
|
|
72 - **$2 == "chr3"** will match lines whose second column is the string 'chr3'
|
|
|
73 - **$5-$4>23** will match lines that after subtracting the value of the fourth column from the value of the fifth column, gives value alrger than 23.
|
|
|
74 - **/AG..AG/** will match lines that contain the regular expression **AG..AG** (meaning the characeters AG followed by any two characeters followed by AG). (This is the way to specify regular expressions on the entire line, similar to GREP.)
|
|
|
75 - **$7 ~ /A{4}U/** will match lines whose seventh column contains 4 consecutive A's followed by a U. (This is the way to specify regular expressions on a specific field.)
|
|
|
76 - **10000 < $4 && $4 < 20000** will match lines whose fourth column value is larger than 10,000 but smaller than 20,000
|
|
|
77 - If no pattern is specified, all lines match (meaning the **action** part will be executed on all lines).
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
79
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 **Action Examples**
|
|
|
82
|
|
|
83 - **{ print }** or **{ print $0 }** will print the entire input line (the line that matched in **pattern**). **$0** is a special marker meaning 'the entire line'.
|
|
|
84 - **{ print $1, $4, $5 }** will print only the first, fourth and fifth fields of the input line.
|
|
|
85 - **{ print $4, $5-$4 }** will print the fourth column and the difference between the fifth and fourth column. (If the fourth column was start-position in the input file, and the fifth column was end-position - the output file will contain the start-position, and the length).
|
|
|
86 - If no action part is specified (not even the curly brackets) - the default action is to print the entire line.

90 **AWK's Regular Expression Syntax**
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
92 The select tool searches the data for lines containing or not containing a match to the given pattern. A Regular Expression is a pattern descibing a certain amount of text.
|
|
|
93
|
|
|
94 - **( ) { } [ ] . * ? + \ ^ $** are all special characters. **\\** can be used to "escape" a special character, allowing that special character to be searched for.
|
|
|
95 - **^** matches the beginning of a string(but not an internal line).
|
|
|
96 - **(** .. **)** groups a particular pattern.
|
|
|
97 - **{** n or n, or n,m **}** specifies an expected number of repetitions of the preceding pattern.
|
|
|
98
|
|
|
99 - **{n}** The preceding item is matched exactly n times.
|
|
|
100 - **{n,}** The preceding item ismatched n or more times.
|
|
|
101 - **{n,m}** The preceding item is matched at least n times but not more than m times.
|
|
|
102
|
|
|
103 - **[** ... **]** creates a character class. Within the brackets, single characters can be placed. A dash (-) may be used to indicate a range such as **a-z**.
|
|
|
104 - **.** Matches any single character except a newline.
|
|
|
105 - ***** The preceding item will be matched zero or more times.
|
|
|
106 - **?** The preceding item is optional and matched at most once.
|
|
|
107 - **+** The preceding item will be matched one or more times.
|
|
|
108 - **^** has two meaning:
|
|
|
109 - matches the beginning of a line or string.
|
|
|
110 - indicates negation in a character class. For example, [^...] matches every character except the ones inside brackets.
|
|
|
111 - **$** matches the end of a line or string.
|
|
|
112 - **\|** Separates alternate possibilities.
