Okay, I'm sure we can help with that. A few questions for clarity though:-
- Must the filename in the fastconcatg directory be the prefix of the directory that the source was found in?
- What do we do for a directory that doesn't have a file of that name in it? We could leave an empty marker file, miss it completely or perhaps something else.
If your source files would be found be the command
ls -l org*/dnaG.fasta then that's good. The problem about so many files is that you might exceed the command line length, but we can work on that if it become a problem.
For every directory/file found, the logic could be something like:-
- Get the directory part
- Get the number from the directory part
- Copy the file to the target directory with the source directory number as a prefix
Does that match your need or have I missed the point?
Do you have any further attempts yourself that we can work through?
Kind regards,
Robin

uucp(1c) uucp(1c)
Name
uucp, uulog, uuname - unix to unix copy
Syntax
uucp [option...] source-file... destination-file
uulog [option...]
uuname [option...]
Description
The command copies files named by the source-file arguments to the destination-file argument. A file name either may be a path name on
your machine or may have the form
system-name!pathname
where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which knows about. Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname part will
be expanded on the appropriate system.
Pathnames may be a full pathname, a pathname preceded by ~user, where user is a userid on the specified system and is replaced by that
user's login directory, or anything else prefixed by the current directory.
If the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system, the copy will fail. If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of
the source-file name is used. If a simple ~user destination is inaccessible to data is copied to a spool directory and the user is noti-
fied by
The command preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions. For further information, see
Options
The following options are interpreted by
-d Creates all necessary directories for the file copy.
-c Uses the source file when copying out rather than copying the file to the spool directory.
-m Sends you mail when the copy is complete.
-nrec
Sends mail to the recipient.
-W Expands only local files. Normally files names are prepended with the current working directory if a full path is not specified. The
-W tells to expand local files only.
The command prints a summary of and transactions that were recorded in the file
The options cause to print logging information:
-ssys
Displays information about work involving specified system.
-uuser
Displays information about work involving specified user.
The command lists the uucp names of known systems.
-l Lists local system name.
Warnings
The domain of remotely accessible files can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted. You will very
likely not be able to fetch files by pathname. Ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you. For the same reasons,
you will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames.
Restrictions
All files received by will be owned by uucp.
The -m option will only work sending files or receiving a single file. (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters
?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
Files
/usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
/usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files
/etc/acucap - shared autodial modem database
