By default, the file is assumed to include an information header, which |

The input format is assumed to be ASCII, with three white-space separated words |
| 48 |
|
(typically numbers) in each record. |
| 70 |
|
and |
| 71 |

If an input header is present, it may contain the format, number of components |
| 79 |
+ |
and matrix dimensions. |
| 80 |
+ |
In such cases, the |
| 81 |
+ |
.I \-ic, |
| 82 |
+ |
.I \-ir |
| 83 |
+ |
and |
| 84 |

.I \-f |

options are not required, but will be checked against the header |
| 86 |

information if provided. |

The transpose option, |
| 89 |
|
.I \-t |
| 90 |
|
swaps rows and columns on the input. |
| 94 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 95 |
|
will automatically determine the number of columns based on the |
| 96 |
|
position of the first EOL (end-of-line) character, and the number |
| 97 |
< |
of rows based on the count of records in the file. |
| 97 |
> |
of rows based on the total count of records in the file. |
| 98 |
|
The user may override these determinations, allowing the matrix to |
| 99 |
|
be resized as well as transposed. |
| 100 |
|
If input and output dimensions are given, the number of input rows |
| 101 |
|
must equal the number of output columns, |
| 102 |
< |
and the number of input columns must equal the number of output rows |
| 103 |

with the |

.I \-t |
| 85 |

option. |

For large transpose operations on Unix systems, it is most efficient |
| 104 |
|
to specify the input file on the command line, rather than reading |
| 105 |
|
from the standard input, since |
| 106 |
|
.I rcollate |

can map the file directly into memory. |

|
rcollate -ff3 -ic 145 -t orig.flt > transpose.flt |

.SH NOTES |
| 125 |
|
.I rcollate |
| 126 |
|
command is rather inflexible when it comes to output field and record |
| 127 |
|
separators for ASCII data. |
| 128 |
< |
It accepts any number or type of white space between input fields |
| 128 |
> |
It accepts any amount of white space between fields |
| 129 |
|
on input, but only produces spaces as field separators |
| 130 |
< |
between words and tabs as record separators. |
| 130 |
> |
between words and tabs as record separators on output. |
| 131 |
|
Output row separtors will always be an EOL, which may differ between systems. |
