These scripts have been written to be run on GNU/linux and require awk and MySQL (which can be on the same computer or on another computer accessible over network). Both awk and mysql are cross-platform and with simple modifications to these scripts, it should be possible to use them on other operating systems. These scripts read unit-level data from the 2010-11 round of ASI Survey, generate csv files for all the levels, create a mysql database, and load the data into it. The csv files are deleted in the end. With trivial modification of asi10_11.sh, you can retain the csv files or skip creation of MySQL database altogether. The scripts read following data file: ./Data/asi11m.TXT To run these scripts, you need to do the following. 1. Put the entire contents of the CD containing ASI 2010-11 data in a directory. Please put the original data file in a sub-directory called "Data". Please check the data file. If it is named differently, either rename the data file or modify the script. If the data file is compressed using some compression utility (zip or rar), uncompress it. 2. Uncompress the script files. Uncompressing the script files will give a directory called asi1011_scripts. Move this to the directory which has the contents of the CD. 3. cd to scripts directory from the terminal and give the following command: ./asi10_11.sh Please note that the script creates a new database called ASI_10_11. If there is already a database with this name, it will be deleted. You have been warned. The script may take a lot of time to read the data. The actual time taken will depend on the processing power of the computer on which the script is run. If you want to interrupt the process in the middle, you can do that using CTRL-C.
