USGAE

huge-merge.pl [OPTIONS] SOURCEDIR

INPUT

Required Arguments:

SOURCEDIR

Input to huge-merge.pl should be a single flat directory containing multiple plain text files generated by huge-sort.pl. The result file, merge.* (* is a number, the final result file has the maximum number), is in the source directory.

Optional Arguments:

--keep

Switches ON the --keep option will keep all the intermediate merging files.

--remove L

Bigrams with counts less than L in the entire SOURCE data are removed from the sample. The counts of the removed bigrams are not counted in any marginal totals. This has same effect as count.pl's --remove option.

--uremove L

Bigrams with counts more than L in the entire SOURCE data are removed from the sample. The counts of the removed bigrams are not counted in any marginal totals. This has same effect as count.pl's --uremove option.

--frequency F

Bigrams with counts less than F in the entire SOURCE are not displayed. The counts of the skipped bigrams ARE counted in the marginal totals. In other words, --frequency in huge-count.pl has same effect as the count.pl's --frequency option.

--ufrequency F

Bigrams with counts more than F in the entire SOURCE are not displayed. The counts of the skipped bigrams ARE counted in the marginal totals. In other words, --frequency in huge-count.pl has same effect as the count.pl's --ufrequency option.

Other Options:

--help

Displays the help information.

--version

Displays the version information.
