I found the following at -
I hope it will at least be a step in the direction you are attempting to go.
The following awk script may help you to create the data files. If you embed a call to awk followed by a call to invoke nonmem and loop over the records in your id data file you should be able complete your bootstrap.
I have only tested it in a limited fashion. Let me know if you need a copy of awk (for DOS). It is small (47k) and public domain.
#boot
# assume each set of IDs are in a record in a file called id.dat delimited with
# spaces e.g.
# 25 18 7 11 33 ...
# 8 10 17 1 22 ...
# assume original NONMEM input data file with ID in col 1 called nm.dat
#
# select record from id.dat to use by setting IDROW= to record number
#Usage:
# awk -f boot.awk -v DATA=nm.dat -v IDROW=1 id.dat
BEGIN {
IDCOL=1 # col number for ID in nm.dat
DELIM=" " # field delimiter in nm.dat
n=0 # counter to name each new NONMEM output file
}
NR==IDROW {
NMOUT="nmsamp.dat"
print "# IDs="$0 > NMOUT
ok=getline datrec < DATA
do {
split(datrec,data,DELIM)
id=data[IDCOL]
for ( i=1; i <= NF ; i++ ) {
if ( id == $i ) {
do {
print datrec >> NMOUT
ok=getline datrec < DATA
split(datrec,data,DELIM)
id=data[IDCOL]
} while ( id == $i && ok > 0 )
i = NF*2 # force exit from for loop
}
}
if ( i == NF+1 ) ok=getline datrec < DATA
} while ( ok > 0 )
close(DATA)
close(NMOUT)
}
