Probably missing an obvious syntax error but another set of eyes will help. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
DIR=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/new
for RDIR in "$DIR"/R_2019* ; do  ## # matching "R_2019*" to operate on desired directory and expand
  S5=${RDIR##*/}  ## store run with no path as S5
  TRIMSTR=${RDIR%%-v5.6*}  ## trim folder match in RDIR from -v5.6 and store in TRIMSTR
    mv "$RDIR" "$TRIMSTR"  ## move trimmed folder to directory
  cd "$TRIMSTR"
      STRING=$(awk -F '\n' -v RS="" -v ref="$S5" '$0 ~ ref {d=split($0, val, " "); for(i=2;i<d;i+=2) printf "%s ",val[i]; printf "\n"}' "$DIR"/f1)
  for folder in *[0-9]*/ ; do
      folder=${folder%/}   ## remove trailing slash
      if ! [[ " ${STRING/[*]} " == *\ $folder\ * ]]
      then
           for folder in $STRING ; do
           ## if $folder does not exist then make
           [ -d "$folder" ]
             mkdir -p "$TRIMSTR"/"$folder"/variants
             break
          end
      fi
     done
   done
done

Code:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
cmccabe@xxx:~$      done
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
cmccabe@xxx:~$    done
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
cmccabe@xxx:~$ done

NAME
rfio_opendir - open a directory SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include "rfio_api.h" RDIR *rfio_opendir (const char *path); DESCRIPTION
rfio_opendir opens a directory to be used in subsequent rfio_readdir operations. A RDIR structure and a buffer to cache the directory entries are allocated in the client API. path specifies the logical pathname relative to the current directory or the full pathname. NOTES
For LCG directories, a multi-threaded application will need to initialize itself the Cthread (LCG Thread Interface) library ; this is done by including "shift/Cthread_api.h" and calling the function Cthread_init() at the beginning. Otherwise accessing LCG directories will not be thread-safe. See Cthread(3). RETURN VALUE
This routine returns a pointer to be used in the subsequent directory function calls if the operation was successful or NULL if the opera- tion failed. In the latter case, serrno is set appropriately. ERRORS
ENOENT A component of path prefix does not exist or path is a null pathname. EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix or read permission is denied on path. EFAULT path is a NULL pointer. ENOTDIR A component of path prefix is not a directory. ENAMETOOLONG The length of path exceeds CA_MAXPATHLEN or the length of a path component exceeds CA_MAXNAMELEN. SENOSHOST Host unknown. SENOSSERV Service unknown. SECOMERR Communication error. SEE ALSO
