Trevor-

Did the where work around work or did you come up with a better solution?

If you skip the index part using where does it work?
E.g.,

  $a->where($a==0) .= 1;
  $b = $b->where($b>0)->sever;

Thanks Craig.

In the interim, is there a better way to do the following:

$a(which($a==0)).=1;
$b = $b(which($b > 0))->sever;

as now I'll have to replace all this sort of thing with something like:

$tmp=which($a==0);
if ($tmp->nelem > 0) { a($tmp) .= 1; }

$tmp = which($b > 0);
if ($tmp->nelem > 0) {
     $b = $b($tmp)->sever;
} else {
     $b = pdl([ ]);
}

Cheers,
Trevor

Subject: Re: [Pdl-general] Slicing pdl with empty index variable

Hmmm.   Looks like you’ve discovered a wart.  Indexing pdl(1,2) with an Empty does the right thing and returns Empty.  But indexing a scalar or a 1-D PDL with one element fails.  I think it’s because Empties are implemented under the hood as 1x0 PDLs (to distinguish them from Nulls, which have 0 in the first position).

Hi,

Sorry I've been out of the PDL loop for a long time, but have an old script written in PDL that I use a lot. After a recent IT upgrade here we have shifted to PDL v2.018 and I'm getting some behaviour that is new from our previous install (2.4 in the old numbering system???).

The script uses some which() statements to create indexing vectors to slice the original pdl. Normally when the which statement comes back empty, the slice command returns an empty pdl itself. But if the slicing dimension (regardless of the total number of dimensions) of the original pdl is of length 1 bad things happen. Perhaps an example is clearer:

pdl> p $empty=pdl([])
Empty[0]
pdl> p $d2=pdl([1,2])
[1 2]
pdl> p $d2($empty)
Empty[0]
pdl> p $d1=pdl([1])
[1]
pdl> p $d1($empty)
Stringizing problem: slice: slice starts out of bounds in pos 0 (start is 1; source dim 0 runs 0 to 0).       eval {...} called at /scale_akl_persistent/filesets/opt_niwa/centos7-x86_64-skl_prelim/GCC-4.8.5/Perl/5.24.1-GCC-4.8.5/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.24.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/PDL/Core.pm line 2857        PDL::string(PDL=SCALAR(0x1053d10), undef, "") called at /scale_akl_persistent/filesets/opt_niwa/centos7-x86_64-skl_prelim/GCC-4.8.5/Perl/5.24.1-GCC-4.8.5/bin/perldl line 402

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on here??

Thanks,
