a. Print out the number of occurrences for each motif that is found in the bacterial genome and output to a file called motif_count.txt
I will continue with this requirement: if i understand you correctly you want to count all the occurrences of the sequence in each gene, like this (the numbers are made up):
for all the genes in your your bacterial genome file. Is that correct?
If so, here is a shell algorithm which will do that:
read two lines (?) from the genome file, the first one holds the name of the gene:
the second one holds the gene sequence itself:
we will try to "subtract" (that is: cut out from the string) one occurrence of the pattern we look for from the gene: if it changes we have found such a pattern - we increase the counter and repeat that. Once the string remains unchanged we could find no more occurrence of the pattern, so we end this and output the final result. You need "parameter expansion" for this and i suggest you read it up because this is a versatile tool to your toolkit. I put the code in form of a function which you can call:
Notice that to read the genome file correctly we need a few additional bits of information: 1) is the name of the gene always on a line starting with a ">"? 2) the genes content is in one line in your sample. Is that always so or could that be broken into several lines?
I assume for the moment that 1) is the case and the answer to 2) is that it always on one line. Note that the script will break if this is not the case but it could be easily adapted.
Now let us include that into the script start i showed you already:
More to come, but you should answer the questions i asked.
I have a very basic bash shell script, which has many "while... done; for .... done" loop clauses, like the following

then
echo `date` > update_dt_ccaps.lst
echo "The file transfer failed" >> update_dt_ccaps.lst

fi
The above code is showing error in bash shell as :

I'm trying to search all .odt files in a directory for a string in the text of the file.
I've found a bash script that works, except that it can't handle whitespace in the filenames.
#!/bin/bash
if ; then
echo "Usage: searchodt searchterm"
exit 1
