STRIPVME

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Standard Arecibo datataking records contain a header followed by data. stripVme will select a subset of scans and records within a file and strip off the headers, data, or neither. The input is taken from standard input and the output is written to stdout.

A selection criteria allows creating a subset of the file. For a record to be output it must satisfy all of these criteria. With options -f and -l you can specify the first and last scan numbers to include. Option -o choses the ordinal scan to start with (counting from 1) while option -n sets the maximum number of scans to output. Option -g will pick a subset of records within each matched scan.  

OPTIONS

-d

Strip off the data passing only the headers.

-h

Strip off the headers passing only the data.

-q

Run quietly not outputing the current record number to stderr.

-f firstScanNumber

The first scan number to start processing.

-l lastScanNumber

The last scan number to process.

-g firstGroup lastGroup

The first, last record within each scan to output.

-o ordinalScan

The ordinal scan within the file to start with (count from 1).

-n numberOfScans

The number of scans to process.

EXAMPLES

Strip off the data passing the headers, then convert the headers to ascii.

stripVme -d < inputfile|printhdrV|more

Output the data from records 5 through 10 of scans 919300005 through 919300012.

stripVme -h -f 919300005 -l 919300012 < inputfile > outputfile

Output the data from the third through seventh scans.

stripVme -h -o 3 -n 5 < inputfile > outputfile
