[Solved] Challenge - Concatenating multiple files, summing values with same dates


Recommended Posts

Hello,

So this may be more of a challenge of effective programming then specific to AutoIT but I want to solve this problem with AutoIT  so i'm putting it here. (If someone has a better language to solve with I'm all ears)

 

So the task I'm trying to achieve is that I have multiple .CSV files that have: year, month, day, hour, value. I need to be able to sum up all the values that have the same date/time, then find which date and time has the maximum value.

 

The problem is that each file may or may not have same amount of days/hours as the rest. So I need to devise a way to handle this. 

 

Example:

File A   File B   File C
2018 1 1  1:00 10   2018 1 1 2:00 10   2018 1 1  1:00 10
2018 1 1  2:00 12   2018 1 1 3:00 12   2018 1 2 1:00 12
2018 1 1  3:00 14   2018 1 1 4:00 14   2018 2 1  1:00 16
2018 2 1  1:00 16   2018 2 1  1:00 16            

 

 Answer I want to be spit out is Feb 1st 2018 at 2:00 with value of 48

 

So far I've got code to store all .CSV files to an array, then a loop to go through each csv, but not sure how to effectively manipulate the data. Keep in mind each file has over 7000 time entry points.

 

If anyone can solve this that would be pretty awesome! 

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Func RefineData()

    Local $i, $filenum, $file, $csvArray, $FilePath = @ScriptDir

    $fileList = _FileListToArrayRec($FilePath, "*.csv", 1) ;Create and array of all .csv files within folder

    Local $chkArray[UBound($fileList)][2]

    ;=====Loop through the .csv files within the folder======

    For $filenum = 1 To UBound($fileList) - 1 Step 1

        $file = $fileList[$filenum]
        $sFilePath = $FilePath & "\" & $file

        ;=====Create array based on csv file=====

        _FileReadToArray($sFilePath, $csvArray, $FRTA_NOCOUNT, ",")

When I have to work with combining a lot of CSV files and searching for data, I use SQLite.  Its fast, and allows searching with SQL.  Here's an example that should help you.  

#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <SQLite.au3>

Global $sOutFile = "test.csv"
Global $sDir = @ScriptDir & "\Test"

Global $aFileList = _FileListToArrayRec($sDir, "*.csv", $FLTAR_FILES,  $FLTAR_RECUR)
If @error Then Exit 1
;~ _ArrayDisplay($aFileList) ;For testing.

;Use sqlite3.exe to import files.
;Make sure sqlite3.exe is in the @ScriptDir.

;Use CSV mode for importing and exporting data.
Global $sSQLiteExeInput = ".mode csv" & @CRLF

;Table name must not contain spaces, use underscores. 
Global $sTableName = "Data"
$sTableName = StringReplace($sTableName, " ", "_")
$sSQLiteExeInput &= "CREATE TABLE " & $sTableName & "(Year,Month,Day,Time,Data);" & @CRLF

;Import files into SQLite table.
For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0]
    $sSQLiteExeInput &= ".import '" & $sDir & "\" & $aFileList[$i] & "' " & $sTableName & @CRLF 
Next

;Remove NULL rows, if any from import.
$sSQLiteExeInput &= 'DELETE FROM "' & $sTableName & '" WHERE "Data" IS NULL;' & @CRLF 

;Add DateTime Column, and data to the column to allow for easier searching.

Thanks Subz, I found this works great for small amounts of data but takes forever when doing full scale test of 8000ish values per file. 

The first _arrayadd line was taking over 5 mins for 1 file, before I stopped the script. I tried manipulating the code, to overwrite the first column instead of using the addarray; which dramatically speed up the first stage. But don't really understand what was happening with the summary portion and _arraysearch and ended up breaking this or not getting it to work

I'm going to fiddle with Adam's solution to see if I can understand whats happening and if it runs any quicker

Thanks Adam, I have never used SQLite before. Looks like this is an additional piece of software required? 

If I was to want to make an .exe file this wouldn't work for others unless they download SQLite too hey?

Can you try the following:

#include <Array.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Local $sTempName = "FileName.csv"
Local $aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir & "\CSV", "*.csv", 1, True)
    If @error Then Exit
Local $aArray[0][6], $aFileName
For $i = 1 To $aFileList[0]
     _FileReadToArray($aFileList[$i], $aFileName, 0, ",")
    _ArrayAdd($aArray, $aFileName)
Next
Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sTempName, 10)
_FileWriteFromArray($hFileOpen, $aArray, Default, Default, ",")
FileClose($hFileOpen)

Local $oExcel = _Excel_Open()
Local $oWorkbook = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, @TempDir & "\" & $sTempName)
Local $oRange = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Usedrange
Local $iLastRow = $oWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Range("A1").SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell).Row

With $oExcel.Application.Selection
    .Consolidate("'" & @TempDir & "\[" & $sTempName & "]FileName'!C5:C6", -4157, False, True, False)
EndWith
_Excel_RangeSort($oWorkbook, Default, "$A:$F", "E:E", Default, Default, Default, False, Default, "F:F", Default)

Thanks man! I'll give that a try tomorrow.

You gave me some really good ideas with the first code you sent me before, and been playing around with how to refine it. I now think I've got it working really quick (less 30 seconds for 4 files). I've have to put some extra exception handlers in, try some larger scale tests, and test robustness but I think I've got it now. *fingers crossed*

The key idea is getting 1 column in the format of yyyy/mm/dd HH, to minimize the amount of comparisons needed

There was a bit of a problem when times go above 9 because of code reading 3:00 greater than 10:00, but there is a work around I discovered. If use StringRight($string, 5) then it will treat this example like 03:00 compared to 10:00; which program correctly identifies as 03:00 < 10:00.

Thanks for the help!

You could FileInstall sqlite3.dll and sqlite3.exe files when you compile the exe, and extract them to the @TempDir directory for use.  The files can be downloaded from here. You can just download sqlite3.exe and sqlite3.dll directly.  Here is the updated example script using FileInstall and using the @TempDir.

You could FileInstall sqlite3.dll and sqlite3.exe files when you compile the exe, and extract them to the @TempDir directory for use.  The files can be downloaded from here. You can just download sqlite3.exe and sqlite3.dll directly.  Here is the updated example script using FileInstall and using the @TempDir.

Thanks! I pretty much have everything working well now without, but I might use this in the future. Thanks for the example code, appreciate you taking the time to teach

Your welcome.  Glad I could help.  For working with a large number of CSV files, SQLite can help you a lot.  Your not limited by AutoIt's array size limit, and you can get arrays back from queries to work with.

Good to know.

I learned that with these CSV files of approximately 7000-9000 rows that when using AutoIt's array functions if I tried an algorithm that required a lot of adding or deleting rows from the 2D array this killed the processing time, going from several seconds to having to terminate script after several minutes of still not completing. Do you know if SQLite would better manage this sort of task?

The way I got around this is just by either:

i) Overwrite data instead of inserting a new columns/rows

ii) Create a new array of desired size and pass values into it

Using these methods kept processing time back into seconds.

Yes, SQLite would work faster with large arrays.  Resizing arrays in AutoIt is what killed your speed.  I try to only resize an array once, maybe twice in a script, usually near the end.  

@Chimp wrote a nice UDF for working with arrays using SQLite.
