Hello,

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write great explanations! I have printed it out and will re-read everything to really understand it.

Instead of creating new threads, is it okay if I keep posting new questions in this thread?

If so, I have a question on creating variables. I have tried to research and come up with a solution (to the text quoted below) on my own but I do not know if I am on the right track. If possible could you tell me if I am moving in the right direction?

Quote:
So as far as trying to distinguish between "100_eddy_corrected_brain.nii.gz" and "100_eddy_corrected_brain_mask.nii.gz" if you could define the first as a variable, say $eddy_file or something of the sort, you could pipe it through to a cut command defining a period as your delimiter and take everything in front of it, so something like:
{echo $eddy_file | cut -d. -f1}_mask.nii.gz

But that would depend on using the "set" command to create the variable.
I have come up with the following: though I am not sure what is meant by using the 'set' command.

Code:
#/bin/bash
eddy_file=`cat eddy_corrected_brain.txt`
echo $eddy_file

The eddy_corrected_brain.txt is a text file with pathnames of all the files that match eddy_corrected_brain.nii.gz from the initial find command/results.

Thank you again!

pthread_getsequence_np

pthread_getsequence_np(3)				     Library Functions Manual					 pthread_getsequence_np(3)

NAME

       pthread_getsequence_np - Obtains the unique identifier for the specified thread.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       unsigned long   pthread_getsequence_np(
				     pthread_t	  thread);

STANDARDS

       None

PARAMETERS

       Thread object whose sequence number is to be obtained.

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine  obtains  and  returns  the DECthreads thread sequence number for the thread identified by the thread object specified in the
       thread argument.

       The thread sequence number provides a unique identifier for each existing thread.  A thread's thread sequence number is never reused  while
       the thread exists, but can be reused after the thread terminates.  The debugger interfaces use this sequence number to identify each thread
       in commands and in display output.

       The result of calling this routine is undefined if the thread argument does not specify a valid thread object.

RETURN VALUES

       No errors are returned.	This routine returns the DECthreads thread sequence number for the thread identified by the thread  object  speci-
       fied in the thread argument. The result of calling this routine is undefined if the thread argument does not specify a valid thread.

ERRORS

       None
