I am trying to match $1 in file1 with $2 in file2. If a match is found then $3 and $4 of file2 are copied to file1. Both files are tab-delimeted and I am getting a syntax error and would also like to update file1 in-place without creating a new file, but am not sure how. Thank you :).

In the bash below the unique headers of each vcf.gz are stored in a text file with the same name. That is if 16-0000-file.vcf.gz was used the header text file would be 16-0000-file_header.txt.

update-fonts-scale
update-fonts-scale(8) System Manager's Manual update-fonts-scale(8)NAME
update-fonts-scale - generate fonts.scale files
SYNOPSIS
update-fonts-scale [OPTION] directory ...
DESCRIPTION
update-fonts-scale assembles a fonts.scale file in an X font directory using one or more scale files found in a subdirectory of
/etc/X11/fonts/. It is typically invoked only from the post-installation and post-removal scripts of a package containing scalable fonts
usable by the X Window System whose X LFD font names are not in the font files themselves, but may be invoked at any time to reconstruct
fonts.scale files. For each directory, which is either an absolute path to an X font directory or (preferably) simply the last component
of its path (such as '75dpi' or 'misc'), update-fonts-scale will assemble either /usr/lib/X11/fonts/directory/fonts.scale or
/usr/share/fonts/X11/directory/fonts.scale from the index files found at /etc/X11/fonts/directory/package.scale, where package is the name
of the package installing the fonts.
This enables multiple packages to provide names for fonts in the same directory. No font package actually provides the fonts.scale file in
the X font directory itself, so there is no danger of overwriting one package's font names with those of another.
For instance, the two packages 'xfonts-scalable' (real) and 'xfonts-nifty' (hypothetical) may both install fonts into the directory
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1. They each place their fonts.scale files in /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-scalable.scale and
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/xfonts-nifty.scale (respectively). update-fonts-scale concatenates these two files (as well as any others that match
/etc/X11/fonts/Type1/*.scale) into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale.
The format for fonts.scale files is given in the mkfontdir(1x) manual page.
An example of how to use update-fonts-scale in package maintainer scripts is provided in the Debian Policy Manual.
OPTIONS -h, --help displays a brief usage message and exits.
OPERANDS
update-fonts-scale takes one or more X font directory names to operate on as operands. Only the final path component of the directory name
should be specified; e.g.,
update-fonts-scale 75dpi
is correct, while 'update-fonts-scale /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' and 'update-fonts-scale /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi' are not.
ENVIRONMENT
COLUMNS
indicates the width of the terminal device in character cells. This value is used for formatting diagnostic messages. If not set,
the terminal is queried using stty(1) to determine its width. If that fails, a value of '80' is assumed.
DEBUG determines whether low-level diagnostic messages are issued to standard error output. A null (empty) or unset value indicates that
they are not, and a non-null value indicates that they are.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors
usage error: one or more font directories must be provided
update-fonts-scale was invoked without operands. Supply one or more X font directory names to operate on.
usage error: unrecognized option
update-fonts-scale was invoked with an unrecognized option argument. Use only the options documented in "OPTIONS", above.
fatal error: path to X font directory must be used
A directory name was supplied that was not an X font directory name. Supply X font directory names only.
Warnings
warning: absolute path directory was provided
Usage of absolute paths is deprecated. Use only the final component of the X font directory name for directory.
warning: directory does not exist or is not a directory
The supplied directory was invalid. update-fonts-scale skipped it.
Notes
Notes are only displayed under special circumstances; see "ENVIRONMENT". above.
note: index references nonexistent font file filename
The index file /etc/X11/fonts/directory/package.scale, refers to a nonexistent font file, filename. This is normal when package has
been removed, but not purged from the system. In other circumstances, it likely indicates an error in package.
EXIT STATUS
0 update-fonts-scale ran successfully.
1 update-fonts-scale experienced a fatal error; see the section on diagnostic messages above.
2 update-fonts-scale was invoked with invalid arguments.
