... without looking at actual script and outputs you are getting, we can only guess. My guess is that you are running the script from a location different to the location where the targeted file1 is.

If, say, file1 is in /tmp, and you manually cd to /tmp and run your commands, you will get the expected result. But if your script is in, say, /home/myhome, if you don't give the script a full path to where the right file1 is and where file2 will be created, you will get something else

NAME
search2tribe - Turn SearchIO parseable reports(s) into TRIBE matrix SYNOPSIS
Usage: search2tribe [-o outputfile] [-f reportformat] [-w/--weight] file1 file2 .. DESCRIPTION
This script is probably too slow for most people's uses. It is better to use something like scripts/searchio/fastam9_to_table, -m 9 output from BLAST, or the blast2table from the BLAST O'Reilly book to get a tabular output from these programs and then feed the table into MCL with the mcxdeblast script and the --m9 option. This script will turn a protein Search report (BLASTP, FASTP, SSEARCH) into a Markov Matrix for TribeMCL clustering. The options are: -o filename - the output filename [default STDOUT] -f format - search result format (blast, fasta) (ssearch is fasta format). default is blast. -w or --weight VALUE - Change the default weight for E(0.0) hits to VALUE (default=200 (i.e. 1e-200) ) -h - this help menu Additionally specify the filenames you want to process on the command-line. If no files are specified then STDIN input is assumed. You specify this by doing: search2tribe < file1 file2 file3 AUTHOR
