Yes, true - but this works only with GNU-grep, not with a standard-(POSIX-) grep because "-B" is not a POSIX-switch.
It is a hard lesson one learns in administrating very diverse large datacenters that in order to avoid "bad surprises" one sticks as close to the standards as possible. Otherwise you have to develop not "a script" but one for AIX this version, one for AIX that version, one completely different for HP-UX, another one for Solaris, several dozens for the various Linuxes....
Not that following the standards rules out bad surprises anyway, mind you, which is another hard lesson....
I hope this helps.

Hi ,
I have a peculiar case, where my sed command is working on a file which contains lines of small length.
sed "s/XYZ:1/XYZ:3/g" abc.txt > xyz.txt
when abc.txt contains lines of small length(currently around 80 chars) , this sed command is working fine.
when abc.txt contains lines of... (3 Replies)
My files look like this
And I need to cut the sequences at the last "A" found in the following 'pattern' -highlighted for easier identification, the pattern is the actual file is not highlighted.
The expected result should look like this
Thus, all the sequences would end with AGCCCTA... (2 Replies)
This is what I would like to accomplish, I have an input file (file A) that consist of thousands of sequence elements with the same number of characters (length), each headed by a free text header starting with the chevron ‘>' character followed by the ID (all different IDs with different lenghts)...

My file looks something like this
Wnat I need is to look for the Reference sequence (">Reference1") and based on the length of that sequence trim all the entries in that file. So, the rersulting file will contain all sequences with the same length, like this
Thus, all sequences will keep... (5 Replies)

I have a fastq file from small RNA sequencing with sequence lengths between 15 - 30. I wanted to filter sequence lengths between 21-25 and write to another fastq file. how can i do that? (4 Replies)
I have two files with thousands of sequences of different lengths. infile1 contains the actual sequences and infile2 the scores for each A, T, G and C in infile1. Something like this:
infile1:

I have to remove sequences from a file based on the distance value. I am attaching the file containing the distances (Distance.xls)

I have a list of IDs in file1 and a list of sequences in file2. I can print sequences from file2, but I'm asking for help in printing the sequences in the same order as the IDs appear in file1.

I could calculate the length of entire fasta sequences by following command,
awk '/^>/{if (l!="") print l; print; l=0; next}{l+=length($0)}END{print l}' unique.fasta

FASTX_CLIPPER(1) User Commands FASTX_CLIPPER(1)NAME
fastx_clipper - FASTA/Q Clipper
DESCRIPTION
usage: fastx_clipper [-h] [-a ADAPTER] [-D] [-l N] [-n] [-d N] [-c] [-C] [-o] [-v] [-z] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE] Part of FASTX Toolkit
0.0.13.2 by A. Gordon (gordon@cshl.edu)
[-h] = This helpful help screen.
[-a ADAPTER] = ADAPTER string. default is CCTTAAGG (dummy adapter). [-l N] = discard sequences shorter than N nucleotides.
default is 5. [-d N] = Keep the adapter and N bases after it.
(using '-d 0' is the same as not using '-d' at all. which is the default).
[-c] = Discard non-clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which contained the adapter).
[-C] = Discard clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which did not contained the adapter).
[-k] = Report Adapter-Only sequences.
[-n] = keep sequences with unknown (N) nucleotides. default is to discard such sequences.
[-v] = Verbose - report number of sequences.
If [-o] is specified,
report will be printed to STDOUT.
If [-o] is not specified (and output goes to STDOUT), report will be printed to STDERR.
[-z] = Compress output with GZIP.
[-D] = DEBUG output.
[-M N] = require minimum adapter alignment length of N.
If less than N nucleotides aligned with the adapter - don't clip it.
[-i INFILE] = FASTA/Q input file. default is STDIN.
[-o OUTFILE] = FASTA/Q output file. default is STDOUT.
