extracting information from multiple files
Hello there,
I am trying to extract (string) information ( a list words) from 4 files and then put the results into 1 file. Currently I am doing this using grep -f list.txt file1 . and repeat the process for the other 3 files. The reasons i am doing that (a) I do know how to code (b) each file has a header that must be include with the string (c) I have to put the word and underneath it the results from 4 files and if there is no results from one and/or all I need to write a specific sentence like there is no results from file No. Below I will explain what I am trying to achieve.
(1) The list.txt
Gene1
Gene2
Gene3
(2) file1.txt
Chromosome Position Genes Mutation
1 251565465 Gene1 T/G
1 215465511 Gene3 G/A
(3) file 2.txt
Chromosome Position Genes Protein
1 251565471 Gene1 Damaged
1 215465614 Gene2 Pass
(4) file 3 and file 4.txt with different results
I want get the results file from the list.txt in a text as the format below
---
Gene1
(add a sentence) "From Mutation point of view" or file name
Chromosome Position Genes Mutation
1 251565465 Gene1 T/G
(add a sentence) "From Protein point of view" or file name
Chromosome Position Genes Protein
1 251565471 Gene1 Damaged
(add a sentence) "There was No results from file 3 and 4" or file name
(a gap, the follow the list with the next word)
Gene2
(add a sentence) "No resultsFrom Mutation point of view" or file name
(add a sentence) "From Protein point of view" or file name
Chromosome Position Genes Protein
1 215465614 Gene2 Pass

Any suggestions ?
I searched for grep for multiple files on the forum but it seems that perl will be needed and I am not an expert in coding.
