Picture: a new programming language.

Now that machine-learning algorithms are moving into mainstream computing, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is preparing a way to make it easier to use the technique in everyday programming.

An example using AWK programming language & RPV Reports.

This example shows how to prepare a report using AWK programming language & RPV Reports. This program reads the person.dat file (see samples) that must be stored on a Unix system. This example turns in red all those monthly salaries below 1400; that is the reason of the if. We have used print & printf commands. We took advantage of the printf command because it doesn't insert a newline. How to run this 1- Save this code and name it with anyname.awk. 2- Place the file person.dat in the computer for the program to be able to read it. 3- Execute this at the prompt:

# awk -f anyname.awk person.dat > listing.rpv ; mv listing.rpv /tmp/rpvqueue

Important aditional information - Please observe that the awk program has a pic inside pointing "c:\program files\rpv\samples" (the rpv logo). What this means is that the logo is stored in the computer which runs the Rpv server. - You could want to print a bitmap that you have stored in the unix machine. To do so, just reference without the path, and be sure to copy it to the queue directory BEFORE you place the Rpv file there.

Code

BEGIN {     FS = "," ;     print "report_title=Employees report Example with Awk";     print "orientation=2";     print "open_view";     print "spacing=250";     print "$c0=400";     print "$c1=1000";     print "$c2=3400";     print "$c3=6800";     print "$c4=8400";     print "$c5=11000";     print "$c6=13000";     print "$c7=13200";     print "[header]";     print "{f=arial;s=8}";     print "{pic=c:program filesrpvsamplesrpvlogo.bmp,400,400,1400,900}";     print "{n;$c7} Page {12800;pag}";     print "{s=16;n;1800;c=2;b=y} Sample Application Report {spacing=350;n}";     printf "{c=1;1800} Employees Report (one line per record).n"     printf {c=0;b=n;n;n;n}n";     print "{LINE=400,14000;n}";     printf "{s=8;b=y;$c0} ID {$c1} Name {$c2} Address {$c3} Phone {$c4} E-mail" printf "{$c5} Birth date {a=r;$c6} Mon Salary {a=l;$c7} Schedule"     printf "{b=n;spacing=375;n}n";     print "{LINE=400,14000;n}"     print "[data]"}     {         printf "{$c0}" $1         printf "{$c1}" $2         printf "{$c2}" $3         printf "{$c3}" $4         printf "{$c4}" $6         printf "{$c5}" $7         printf "{a=r;"         { if($8 < 1400)             {             printf "c=12;"             }         }     printf "$c6}" $8 "{c=0;a=l;$c7}" $10 "{n}n"     }
