#!/usr/bin/perl =head1 NAME combine - combine sets of lines from two files using boolean operations =head1 SYNOPSIS combine file1 and file2 combine file1 not file2 combine file1 or file2 combine file1 xor file2 _ file1 and file2 _ _ file1 not file2 _ _ file1 or file2 _ _ file1 xor file2 _ =head1 DESCRIPTION B combines the lines in two files. Depending on the boolean operation specified, the contents will be combined in different ways: =over 4 =item and Outputs lines that are in file1 if they are also present in file2. =item not Outputs lines that are in file1 but not in file2. =item or Outputs lines that are in file1 or file2. =item xor Outputs lines that are in either file1 or file2, but not in both files. =back "-" can be specified for either file to read stdin for that file. The input files need not be sorted, and the lines are output in the order they occur in file1 (followed by the order they occur in file2 for the two "or" operations). Bear in mind that this means that the operations are not commutative; "a and b" will not necessarily be the same as "b and a". To obtain commutative behavior sort and uniq the result. Note that this program can be installed as "_" to allow for the syntactic sugar shown in the latter half of the synopsis (similar to the test/[ command). It is not currently installed as "_" by default, but you can alias it to that if you like. =head1 SEE ALSO join(1) =head1 AUTHOR Copyright 2006 by Joey Hess Licensed under the GNU GPL. =cut use warnings; use strict; sub filemap { my $file=shift; my $sub=shift; open (IN, $file) || die "$file: $!\n"; while () { chomp; $sub->(); } close IN; } sub hashify { my $file=shift; my %seen; filemap $file, sub { $seen{$_}++ }; return \%seen; } sub compare_or { my ($file1, $file2) = @_; filemap $file1, sub { print "$_\n" }; filemap $file2, sub { print "$_\n" }; } sub compare_xor { my ($file1, $file2) = @_; compare_not($file1, $file2); compare_not($file2, $file1); } sub compare_not { my ($file1, $file2) = @_; my $seen=hashify($file2); filemap $file1, sub { print "$_\n" unless $seen->{$_} }; } sub compare_and { my ($file1, $file2) = @_; my $seen=hashify($file2); filemap $file1, sub { print "$_\n" if $seen->{$_} }; } if (@ARGV >= 4 && $ARGV[3] eq "_") { delete $ARGV[3]; } if (@ARGV != 3) { die "Usage: combine file1 OP file2\n"; } my $file1=shift; my $op=lc shift; my $file2=shift; if ($::{"compare_$op"}) { no strict 'refs'; "compare_$op"->($file1, $file2); } else { die "unknown operation, $op\n"; }
