THE WORK

Alright.. my work in Fukuoka is done.. learnt quite a bit.. from programming to the japanese language itself.. i used perl programming language to create the scripts and after finishing my internship at fukuoka.. i gained a new experience using perl scripting!

but before that, i would like to explain what the whole thing is about.. the department that i am working on is working on drug prediction.. they have a software/system which predicts drugs using chemistry.. and they will have file formats like SDF and CSV (comma seperated values). My job is to create scripts to allow interactions between those 2 files.. for example.. transferring the data through and fro etc.

so here are the scripts that i have created...

1. AddToSDF: taking data from the CSV file and matching them with the data in the SDF file and then adding data from the CSV file to the SDF file, creating another new SDF file which contains the combined data.

2. RemoveMissingValues: Taking the CSV file, and finding cells that does not have and values (null). Check if removing the WHOLE row or column will affect the data the least. This would have to be done for all missing value cells.. (one of the hardest algorithm to come up with).

3. SortSDF: Taking the SDF file, sort the SDF file according to what the user states. Example, if the user states the script will sort all the data in the SDF file according to its Compound Name.

4. ExtractSDF: Taking the SDf file, match the data of the SDF file with that of the CSV file. Then, extract those data in the SDF file and create a new SDF file without combining data from the CSV file.

5. RemoveStringValues: Taking a CSV file, remove all its string values or edit its string values based on certain conditions.

Thats all the 5 scripts that i've done within the 2 weeks.. some were hard and some were easy.. but it took quite an effort to complete all of them.. anyway.. it is good that i had experience in working in a location overseas by myself.. (really by myself) and learning new stuffs like perl.. it was a fruitful experience...
