hi everyone,

im stuck in here with shell can you help me??

i have a directory with alot files (genbank files ... all ended in .gbk ) more than 1000 for sure ... and i want to read each one of them and search for some information and if i found the right one i save in new file with new name.

i already get try for loops and no sucess

well for search the information i get it right :

awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0}'


i only cant read each file and save in news!


please help me i will give you a candy

awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0}' *.gbk >> new_file

sorry dont work out

and its for all files .gbk that i found Equinodermata inside save in different file not all together but its ok ... thanks for your help

Should this new file be in the same directory as the old one?

well this is not really important ... but yes could be in same directory

Try:

for file in *.gbk; do
  awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0}' $file > new_$file
done

awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0 > FILENAME"_found"}' *gbk
