Convert coordinate files to x,y
« on: August 30, 2017, 04:15:27 AM »
hI. I am searching for a lisp to convert coordinate files files to x,y  (*.txt)

1) p,x,y,z --->x,y
2) p,x,y ---->x,y
3) p x y z ---> x,y
4) p x y ----> x,y


i know that i can do it with excel but i need something faster.

Thanks

you could try this
http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/~steveb/cpaap/pfe/default.htm
and make yourself a macro for each variation.

i am thinking something like this

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun c:test (/ )
  2.              
  3.   (setq title "select file"
  4.         fname (getfiled title path "txt" 0)
  5.         path  (if (setq tmp (vl-filename-directory fname))
  6.                 (strcat tmp "\\")
  7.                 ""
  8.               )
  9.   (setq f (open (strcat path
  10.                         ""
  11.                         (vl-filename-base fname)
  12.                         ".pl"
  13.                 )
  14.                 "w"
  15.           )
  16.  
  17.     (write-line (strcat (rtos (cadr i) 2 3)    
  18.                         ","
  19.                          (rtos (caddr i) 2 3)    
  20.  
  21.  
  22.                 )
  23.                 f
  24.     )
  25.   )
  26. )
  27.  )
  28.  
  29.  

but is not working. Any ideas?

Thanks

can you post a sample of the  " coordinate files files"  to x,y you are starting with?
And what you want them to look like when done?

It might be possible to use QGIS or similar to do this.

i can not understand it can you give me an example for    p x y ----> x,y  ?
something like this
Code: [Select]
gawk "{print $2 $3 }" input-file.txt > output-file.txt

It would actually be ...

Code: [Select]
gawk "{print $2\",\" $3 }" data.txt > outputfile.txt
Its all in that link i posted earlier.

yes you could read that file into QGIS (its free GIS software)

new layer from delimited file...
have it read your desired columns from that file

then export it as comma delimited file or shp file...or lots of formats.

no list/code/ or scripts required

                (setq result (cons (foo s) result))
            )
            (close handle)
            (vl-remove 'nil (reverse result))
        )
    )
)

Code: [Select]

                (princ "\n" handle)
            )
            (null (close handle))
        )
    )
)

Code: [Select]
;;  read it in

If the data hosts non numerical items that technique would (undesirably) yield symbols instead of strings.

I attach a *.txt file with the coordinates.I try fools code but the *.pl file is empty

My code is written very rough, just to show the way.
Change space to tab in function F_Str2Lst can convert correctly.

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (DEFUN c:test (/ FF FFN TXT TXTS)
  2.   (SETQ ffn  (GETFILED "Select file" "" "txt" 0)
  3.         ff   (OPEN ffn "r")
  4.         txts nil
  5.   )
  6.   (WHILE (SETQ txt (READ-LINE ff)) (SETQ txts (CONS txt txts)))
  7.   (CLOSE ff)
  8.   ;;(VL-FILE-RENAME ffn (STRCAT (SUBSTR ffn 1 (- (STRLEN ffn) 3)) "bak"))
  9.   (SETQ txts (MAPCAR 'CDR (MAPCAR 'F_Str2Lst (MAPCAR 'F_NoExtraSpaces (REVERSE txts)))))
  10.   (SETQ ff (OPEN (STRCAT (SUBSTR ffn 1 (- (STRLEN ffn) 3)) "pl") "w"))
  11.   (FOREACH item txts (WRITE-LINE (STRCAT (CAR item) "," (CADR item)) ff))
  12.   (CLOSE ff)
  13. )
  14.  
  15. (DEFUN F_NoExtraSpaces (str / pos)
  16.   (SETQ str (VL-STRING-TRIM " " str))
  17.   (WHILE (SETQ pos (VL-STRING-SEARCH "  " str pos)) (SETQ str (VL-STRING-SUBST " " "  " str pos)))
  18.   str
  19. )
  20.  
  21. (DEFUN F_Str2Lst (str / pos)
  22.   (IF (SETQ pos (VL-STRING-SEARCH "\t" str))
  23.     (CONS (SUBSTR str 1 pos) (F_Str2Lst (SUBSTR str (+ (STRLEN "\t") pos 1))))

no foo
Code: [Select]
(setq result (cons (read (strcat "(" s ")")) result))

Using read function maybe change data.

Code: [Select]
(SETQ str " 0   318349.74  4231547.73 ")
(read (strcat "(" str ")"))

result:
(0 318350.0 4.23155e+006)

to be more in line with the original requirements the translators would need to work successfully on this list.
with the addition of TABS as per the provided file.

This is the norm of my work. It may be right for you. please try
Import txt file, csv with the format: P Y Y Z Code
- different separators like comma, space, tab
- Still works well with other formats like
+ P X Y
+ P X Y Z
+ P Y X
+ P Y X Z
......

to be more in line with the original requirements the translators would need to work successfully on this list.
with the addition of TABS as per the provided file.

0   300000.00   4000000.00 0.0
1   318445.61   4231568.79
2 318446.37,4231561.59,123
3   318443.36,4231549.82
4   318438.82      4231539.87    0.0
5   318428.56,   4231532.33,      0.0
6,318425.25,4231523.57,0.0
7,   318428.55,   4231513.05,   0.0
8   318442.57   4231516.64
9   318455.87   4231506.94
10   318473.12   4231495.81


just saying ...

Eschewing the important but I don't have time for "importance of well formed data" discussion I'll ante up this 2 minute quickie:

Code: [Select]
(defun _Normalize ( str )
    (foreach delim '(" " "," "\t")
        (foreach pattern (list (strcat " " delim) (strcat delim " "))
            (while (vl-string-search pattern str)
                (setq str (vl-string-subst delim pattern str))
            )
        )
    )         
    (vl-string-translate " \t" ",," str)
)

Code: [Select]
(progn
    (foreach test
       '(
            "0   300000.00   4000000.00 0.0"
            "1   318445.61   4231568.79"

            "10   318473.12   4231495.81"   
        )
        (princ (strcat "\n" test " >> " (_Normalize test)))
    )   
    (princ)
)

Just to offer an alternative approach:
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (defun NormaliseList ( src dst lst / rgx rtn )
  2.     (if (setq rgx (vlax-create-object "vbscript.regexp"))
  3.         (progn
  4.             (vl-catch-all-apply
  5.                '(lambda nil
  6.                     (vlax-put-property rgx 'global actrue)
  7.                     (vlax-put-property rgx 'pattern src)
  8.                     (setq rtn (mapcar '(lambda ( x ) (vlax-invoke rgx 'replace x dst)) lst))
  9.                 )
  10.             )
  11.             (vlax-release-object rgx)
  12.             rtn
  13.         )
  14.     )
  15. )
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1.     (NormaliseList
  2.         "[^\\s\\,]+[\\s\\,]+([^\\s\\,]+)[\\s\\,]+([^\\s\\,]+).*"
  3.         "$1,$2"
  4.        '(
  5.             "0   300000.00   4000000.00 0.0"
  6.             "1   318445.61   4231568.79"
  7.             "2 318446.37,4231561.59,123"
  8.             "3   318443.36,4231549.82"
  9.             "4   318438.82      4231539.87    0.0"
  10.             "5   318428.56,   4231532.33,      0.0"
  11.             "6,318425.25,4231523.57,0.0"
  12.             "7,   318428.55,   4231513.05,   0.0"
  13.             "8 \t  318442.57   4231516.64"
  14.             "9   318455.87 \t  4231506.94"
  15.             "10   318473.12   4231495.81"  
  16.         )
  17.     )
  18. )

Yields:

"300000.00,4000000.00"
"318445.61,4231568.79"
"318446.37,4231561.59"
"318443.36,4231549.82"
"318438.82,4231539.87"
"318428.56,4231532.33"
"318425.25,4231523.57"
"318428.55,4231513.05"
"318442.57,4231516.64"
"318455.87,4231506.94"
"318473.12,4231495.81"

Just put , or upload, or whats ever, your sample dwg and your sample xyz value file, as you do it by hand.

Keep it simple sir .. just KISS

While that is generally good advice, and Michaels comments regarding data formatting ;
I can understand the desire to be able to handle various formatting structures.

Having one function to parse the data file irrespective of it's structure is definitely an advantage if we are dealing with data from various sources.

I hadn't imagined the format would be as mixed in ONE file as the example I posted but being able to process ANY of the formats would be handy.

Good generic solution Fools.

Thanks.
I tested Lee, MP and my code by benchmark.lsp.
Before testing, I added some content to MP's code. Let three functions has same result.
MP's function is the fastest and mine is the slowest. So, MP's function is recommended, especially when the amount of data is large.
BTW, Lee use regular expression is very wise solution.

Thanks for the nod fools. That said, I wouldn't necessarily consider my normalize function as recommended. It was more of an acedemic response to a contrived challenge that doesn't tend to exist much in real life. That is, data is normally consistant (tho it may be ugly). Be it spawned from a spreadsheet, a database, a data collector ... whatever. As such -- and especially if you're concerned with performance -- tailored code will perform far better than my "try to do it all" function. Cheers.
