Seems perfect, I'll try it later on.
Update you on the results later on.

Many thanks!

It works! After some slight changes (in bold) because of my files names
Code:
find ./path/ -type f | sed -e 's/_R.*$//' -e 's/_R//'|sort -u | while read path_file         # Or however you generate your file list
do
    file="${path_file##*/}"                    # Get just the file bit, dropping the path
  echo "command -1 ${path_file}_R1_val_1.fq.gz -2 ${path_file}_R2_val_2.fq.gz --un-conc-gz $file --several --others --parameters"
done

it gives this expected output:

Quote:
command -1 ./path/fileA_R1_val_1.fq.gz -2 ./path/fileA_R2_val_2.fq.gz --un-conc-gz fileA --several --others --parameters
command -1 ./path/fileB_R1_val_1.fq.gz -2 ./path/fileB_R2_val_2.fq.gz --un-conc-gz fileB --several --others --parameters
command -1 ./path/fileC_R1_val_1.fq.gz -2 ./path/fileC_R2_val_2.fq.gz --un-conc-gz fileC --several --others --parameters
command -1 ./path/fileD_R1_val_1.fq.gz -2 ./path/fileD_R2_val_2.fq.gz --un-conc-gz fileD --several --others --parameters
Many thanks for your help! Smilie

Thanks for the suggestion, actually the command is already a perl wrapper.
That is away ahead for my state of knowledge, hope to get there some day...

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do rtl layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --encoding=ENCODING Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
