Top Forums Programming Open Source Bash menu not running Post 302939676 by cmccabe on Friday 27th of March 2015 02:53:44 PM

The hope was to store the output directory as a variable ($FILENAME) but I don't think that is the right way to do it. I changed the code to the below and put the .pl in the annovar directory to make it easier.

The overall goal is use ${id}.txt.hg19_multianno.txt as the input file and after the perl script is run on that file the output file is saved to the path L:\NGS\3_BUSINESS\Matrix\Torrent\matrix_${id}.txt . Thank you Smilie.

Code:
matrix() {
    
     cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\annovar'
     $( perl -ne 'chomp; system ("perl matrix.pl < ${id}.txt.hg19_multianno.txt" )' >> L:\NGS\3_BUSINESS\Matrix\Torrent\matrix_${id}.txt
	 
	 printf "Process complete and new file saved in, Are there additional target gene patients? Y/N "; read match_choice
	 case "$match_choice" in
	    [yY]) id=""; menu ;;
        [nN]) id=""; printf "\n Goodbye! /n/n "; sleep 2 && exit ;;
		esac
}

NAME
ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files SYNOPSIS
ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file DESCRIPTION
Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess- file-copy ... -erase). The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System. ARGUMENTS
source-ecaccess-file The source ECaccess File name. target-ecaccess-file The target ECaccess File name. OPTIONS
-version Display version number and exits. -help Print a brief help message and exits. -manual Prints the manual page and exits. -debug Display the SOAP messages exchanged. EXAMPLES
ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt. ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
