Shell Programming and Scripting

You don't have the 5th string in your printf statement near the end of the program.
The line # 65 in the Perl program of my earlier post is the one missing.
The printf function at line 60 has the format masks for 6 strings, and those strings are typed, one per line, from line 61 through 66.

yep that worked well. Thank u very much.

I think there is a small bug. when ever the script finds same IDs in input 1 (ex:S1) and input2 (ex:S1) , the output is fine. But if the input1 (ex: S1) doesn't have the same ID in input 2 (ex:S100) the output shouldn't include any thing from input1 or 2 [So the bug is that output is printing all unmatched IDs ]

Hope you don't feel bad about dragging this post a bit.

input1

Code:

"aphab"    "S1"  "S2"
"a"    "T/T"    "A/A"
"b"    "A/G"   "A/B"
"c"    "T/T"    "A/F"
"d"    "G/G"   "D/D"
"e"    "A/G"   "W/W"

input2

Code:

"ID"    "Label"    "log"
"S1"    "xxx"    2.8
"S1"    "xxx"    3
"S1"    "xxx"    4
"S100"    "yyy"    6.8
"S100"    "yyy"    7
"S100"    "yyy"    7.4
"S100"    "yyy"    8

output should be with only S1 [ no S2 or S100 values at all.]

Code:

"ID"        "Label"     "StYPE"     "Ntype"     "Stype_No"  "log"
"S1"        "xxx"       "T/T"       1           2           2.8
"S1"        "xxx"       "A/G"       2           2           3
"S1"        "xxx"       "G/G"         3          1           4

thanx

This can be accomplished by a minor change in the 2nd part of the script. If you go through the script carefully and understand it thoroughly, then you should be able to fix it.
I'll leave it for you as an exercise.

And I think this is a new requirement.
The course of action in case of mismatched IDs was never mentioned in any of your previous posts.
If the requirements are clear, and despite that, the program doesn't print correct output, then it may be classified as a bug.
But if the requirements are not clear, then the program is bound to take unpredictable/default courses of action that you may not agree with.
This can be easily remedied by being very clear as to what you want, from square one.

Hey Tyler could you please explain the last code you have written. So that I could do my own modifications instead of asking you. Please. Sorry for bothering you.
