I have a text file containing 2 columns. The first one has DATES (DD/MM/YYYY) and the second one, numbers. It looks like this:
15/01/1945 105.0
16/01/1945 4.2
17/01/1945 3.0
31/01/1945 12.0
01/02/1945 3.0
02/02/1945 125.0
05/02/1945 0.3
And I need to fill the file with this conditions:
1. First date 01/01/1945
2. Last date 31/12/2021
3. Dates must be consecutive, with a difference of one day between lines
4. If there is a missing date, we have to complete the line with the correct date and the number -99.0
So, the final file should look like this:
01/01/1945 -99.0
02/01/1945 -99.0
03/01/1945 -99.0
04/01/1945 -99.0
05/01/1945 -99.0
06/01/1945 -99.0
07/01/1945 -99.0
08/01/1945 -99.0
09/01/1945 -99.0
10/01/1945 -99.0
11/01/1945 -99.0
12/01/1945 -99.0
13/01/1945 -99.0
14/01/1945 -99.0
15/01/1945 105.0
16/01/1945 4.2
17/01/1945 3.0
18/01/1945 -99.0
19/01/1945 -99.0
20/01/1945 -99.0
21/01/1945 -99.0
22/01/1945 -99.0
23/01/1945 -99.0
24/01/1945 -99.0
25/01/1945 -99.0
26/01/1945 -99.0
27/01/1945 -99.0
28/01/1945 -99.0
29/01/1945 -99.0
30/01/1945 -99.0
31/01/1945 12.0
01/02/1945 3.0
02/02/1945 125.0
03/02/1945 -99.0
04/02/1945 -99.0
05/02/1945 0.3
06/02/1945 -99.0
07/02/1945 -99.0
...
30/12/2021 -99.0
31/12/2021 -99.0
I have tried by using a fortran program but it doesn't work. I think that maybe using awk or sed or both.
This is what I get when I read Ed's script:
`
meteo@poniente:/datos$ cat awk.script
#!/bin/bash
cat tst.awk
awk { dates2vals[$1] = $2 }
END {
begDate = "01/01/1945"
endDate = "31/12/2000"
begSecs = mktime(gensub("(.*)/(.*)/(.*)","\\3 \\2 \\1 12 00 00",1,begDate))
daySecs = 24 * 60 * 60
for (curSecs=begSecs; curDate!=endDate; curSecs+=daySecs) {
curDate = strftime("%d/%m/%Y",curSecs)
print curDate, (curDate in dates2vals ? dates2vals[curDate] : "-99.0")
}
}
`
And this is what I get when I run Ed's script:
`
meteo@poniente:/datos$ ./tst.awk
01/01/1946 3.0
02/01/1946 14.2
...

21/11/2021 0.0
22/11/2021 54.1
23/11/2021 -99.0
24/11/2021 27.4
25/11/2021 0.0
29/11/2021 0.0
