SYNOPSIS

PROGRAM NAME: Sucat.pl
Purpose: Concatenate a series files 
AUTHOR:  Juan M. Lorenzo DEPENDS: on cat from bash 
DATE:    May 25 
         Includes access to a simple configuration file
         Simple file is called Sucat.config
         Access to simple file is via Sucat2_config.pl
         Sucat2_config.pl uses Config::Simple (jdhedden)
         as well as SeismicUnix and SystemVariables 
         packages V 2.10
         
         April 9 2018
         removed dependency on Config::Simple (CPAN)
         
         V0.1.5 Now uses sucat.pm instead of bash commands

DESCRIPTION: 

USAGE

Sucat 
Needs a local configuration file Sucat.config
GUI will generate a new one if needed one, but will
prefer to use the contents of an existant configuration file. 

Example Cases

CASE 1A

Use a list (use complete file names but exclude the directory paths) for concatenating iVelan "pick files" (Vrms,time pairs) into the correct format.

A "list", which is found in the $PL_SEISMIC directory contains, e.g.: ivpicks_sorted_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_geom4_cdp1 ivpicks_sorted_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_geom4_cdp11

The starting input format in "par" format is as follows:

(for ivpicks_sorted_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_geom4_cdp1) tnmo=0.0189974,0.113193,0.153562,0.231926 vnmo=59.4778,160.806,195.689,273.761

(for ivpicks_sorted_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_geom4_cdp11) tnmo=0.0316623,0.0759894,0.129815 vnmo=101.006,130.906,263.794

The final output format is:

cdp=3,5 tnmo=0.0189974,0.113193,0.153562,0.231926 vnmo=59.4778,160.806,195.689,273.761 tnmo=0.0316623,0.0759894,0.129815 vnmo=101.006,130.906,263.794

CASE 1B

Use a list (use complete file names but exclude the directory paths) for concatenating iVelan "pick files" (x-coordinate,time pairs) into the correct format.

A "list" which is found in the $PL_SEISMIC directory contains, e.g.:

itop_mute_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_cmp_ep3 itop_mute_par_L28Hz_Ibeam_cmp_ep5

The starting input format in each in "par" format: tnmo=0.0189974,0.113193,0.153562,0.231926 vnmo=59.4778,160.806,195.689,273.761

The final output format is:

The list is expected to be found in $PL_SEISMIC, i.e., ~/pl/"subuser"/

Data_type is determined by parsing the file names and normally contains:
"itop_mute", "ibot_mute" etc." '
   

(See ~sunix/shell/sucat.pm If "data_type" = "velan" then the concatenated output file will automatically be reformatted for input into sunmo.

If "data_type" = "itop_mute" or "ibot_mute" then the concatenated output file will automatically be reformatted for input into "sumute".

GUI EXAMPLE:

Note that a list can only be used when the values of the prior 7 parameters are blank.

An output name is also required. --Exclude values for first 7 parameters in GUI. --alternative directories are optional.

first_file_number_in               =               
last_file_number_in                =                
number_of_files_in                 =                  
output_file_name                   =           
input_suffix                       =               
input_name_prefix                  =                  
input_name_extension               =              
list                               =  file name [$PL_SEISMIC]
output_file_name                   =    
alternative_inbound_directory      =  [$PL_SEISMIC]             
alternative_outbound_directory     =  [$PL_SEISMIC]  
     

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

CASE 2 General concatenation of files with patterns in their names

DO NOT use a list. Instead, include values for at least the first 3 parameters in the GUI, and up to and including values for all the remaining parameters, except the list name. A

An output name is possible but not required.

Example:

 first_file_number_in                = 1000                
 last_file_number_in                 = 1001                
 number_of_files_in                  = 2                           
 input_suffix                        = su                  
 input_name_prefix                   = cdp                 
 input_name_extension                = _clean              
 list                               	=                
 output_file_name                    = 1000_01 
 alternative_inbound_directory       =                   
 alternative_outbound_directory      =  
 
 The above case will produce carries out the following isntruction
 
 cat DIR1/cdp1000_clean.su DIR1/cdp1001_clean.su > DIR2/1000_01.su 

 
 A list CAN NOT be in use when 
 values exist for any of the following parameters:
 
 first_file_number_in                  = 1000                
 last_file_number_in                   = 1010                
 number_of_files_in                    = 11                               
 input_suffix                          = su           
 input_name_prefix                     = cdp                 
 input_name_extension                  = _clean
 
 

CASE 3

	If you want to use a list, the list
	is a file that contains one
	or more file names


	first_file_number_in                  = 
	last_file_number_in                   = 
	number_of_files_in                    = 
	input_suffix                          = 
	input_name_prefix                     = 
	input_name_extension                  = 
	list                                  = cat_list_good_sp;
	output_file_name                      = 'All_good_sp';
	alternative_inbound_directory         = 
	alternative_outbound_directory        =


 CASE 4:
 
  first_file_number_in            = 1000
  last_file_number_in             = 1010
  number_of_files_in              = 11
  input_suffix                    = _clean.su
  input_name_prefix               = 
  input_name_extension            = 
  output_file_name                = 1000_10 
  alternative_inbound_directory   = 
  alternative_outbound_directory  =

NOTES

  The input and output default directories is $PL_SEISMIC
  but these can be overridden by the values of the 
  alternative directories

Establish default variables using a *_spec file and defaults defined hereinf or the location of the list file; in PL_SEISMIC

set global imported variables

set the different parameters

includes  variables

correct input format values

3. Consider compatible

parameter inputs with and without a list

3. Declare outopt file names and their paths

inbound and outbound directories
are defaulted but can be different
