I have a question with regard to converting text columns into new text files.
For example, say that I have the following text file. The information is in hex.
There are no headings or subheadings of any type. Just the raw data in column format. Each column is its own data set. How do you convert each column into its own text file so that I will have 100 text files created for every column?

A3 4B 34 . . . 100th
. . . .


. . . .

. . . .

5C 11 CB. . . 100row

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

In this little program "yourfile.txt" should be replaced by the name of your text file.

And the name of the files that will be created are called "file" plus a number, starting at o plus the extention ".txt".

ie: file0.txt, file1.txt, file2.txt, etc...

You can change the text values "file" & ".txt" to what ever you want.
Provided you follow the rules for naming files.

PHP Code:

<?php
$temp = explode("\r\n",file_get_contents("yourfile.txt")); // Get the rows of data from the text file and put them in an array.
for($i=0;$i<count($temp)-1;$i++){$temp1[$i] = explode(" ",$temp[$i]);} // This loop converts the $temp array into a two-dimentsional array (rows&columns).
for($c=0;$c<count($temp1[0]);$c++) // This double loop converts the columns of the two-dimentsional array into string variables and writes the variables to files.
{
 for($r=0;$r<count($temp1);$r++){${"file".$c} .= $temp1[$r][$c]." ";}
 $fn = fopen("file".$c.".txt","w");
 fwrite($fn,${"file".$c});
 fclose($fn);
 }
?>

Hi job0107,

thank you for your help on this problem. What would we hardware guys (analog/RF) be without the support of our fellow software compatriots. Thank you so much for your help on this one.

It appears that this Perl is very useful. I have never programmed in Perl before. I have only taken the required C/Assembly undergrad software courses in college. Once I finish school, I will definitely take programming classes exclusively. It appears that it is a must for any engineer nowadays.

Again, I thank you for your generous help job0107.

Sincerely,

engIntern
