I put an echo "These are the files:" $file statement and the files in data before the script executes are:
Code:
These are the files: IonCode_0402_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam
These are the files: IonCode_0402_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam.bai
These are the files: IonCode_0404_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam
These are the files: IonCode_0404_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam.bai

after the script executes:
Code:
00-0000-xxx-xxx-xxx IonCode_0402 11-1111-yy-yy-yyy IonCode_0402 22-2222-zz-zzzz-zzz IonCode_0404 10-0000-aa-aa-aa IonCode_0412 55-1111-bb-bbb-bbb_test.bam
00-0000-xxx-xxx-xxx IonCode_0402 11-1111-yy-yy-yyy IonCode_0402 22-2222-zz-zzzz-zzz IonCode_0404 10-0000-aa-aa-aa IonCode_0412 55-1111-bb-bbb-bbb_test.bam.bai
IonCode_0402_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam
IonCode_0402_xxx.xxx_xxx.bam.bai

Thank you Smilie.
