[Scilab-users] [EXTERNAL] Count specific values in text file

[P M]

Hi,

Option 1:
You manually put a "." inside the file and run the script.
Since you only mentioned "pi" and "e" it's little efford.

Option 2:
You still can use csvRead even without having a "." as separator.
Note: Search range adapted to count only in digits behind the decimal sign.
You may change as you wish.

Best regards,
Philipp

// path to the txt filepath = 'pathToFile'// read the file as
stringpiAsString = csvRead(path, [],[],'string')// split the string at
'' (use no token) [piAsString] = strsplit(piAsString,'');// convert
string to doublepiDigits = strtod(piAsString);// search: how often
appears a certain value in a specific range within the
digitssearchRange = 100;searchVal = 1;// adapt the range, to search
only places behind the decimal sign
[locations] = find(piDigits(2:searchRange+1) == searchVal);//
uncomment if wished// printf("location \t number\n");// for i=
2:searchRange+1//     printf("%d \t %d \n", i-1, piDigits(i));//
endprintf("The number %d appears %d times in the first %d digits of
Pi\n",searchVal,length(locations),searchRange) ;printf("The number %d
appears at following locations: \n", searchVal);disp(locations');
