${parameter#pattern}
${parameter##pattern}
If the shell pattern matches the beginning of
the value of parameter, the value of this
substitution is the value of the parameter
with the matched portion deleted; otherwise
the value of this parameter substituted. In
the former case, the smallest matching
pattern is deleted; in the latter case, the
largest matching pattern is deleted.
${parameter%pattern}
${parameter%%pattern}
If the shell pattern matches the end of the
value of parameter, the value of parameter
with the matched part is deleted; otherwise
substitute the value of parameter. In the
former, the smallest matching pattern is
deleted; in the latter, the largest matching
pattern is deleted.

srf_list
srf_list(1) Staden io_lib srf_list(1)NAME
srf_list - Lists and/or counts the contents of an SRF file
SYNOPSIS
srf_list [options] srf_archive ...
DESCRIPTION
srf_list lists the filenames held within one or more SRF container. To simply count the contents rather than list them specify the -c
option. Note that when in count-only mode if an index is present it will be used to determine the number of entries in the index and hence
sequences in the SRF file. The index cannot be used when listing the filenames however as the index itself does not contain the full file-
names.
Note that it is not possible to count sequences matching certain patterns or with specific flags set. srf_info is a more general purpose
tool that may cover this.
OPTIONS -c Counts sequences instead of listing them. Note that this may be substantially faster than listing if an index exists.
-v Verbose mode. This gives summary count information per file rather than just the total at the end.
-l Long format. When listing sequence names this also provides information on the position in the archive and the size of the sequence
specific data block and the size of the shared data block header.
EXAMPLES
To count the total number of sequences in several SRF files:
srf_list -c *.srf
To produce a "fofn" (file of filenames) for an SRF file:
srf_list foo.srf > foo.fofn
