UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Hi,

I have encountered a problem that I am unable to find a workaround for. I have 52 numbers and I need to submit an individual job for each pair combination, so too many to do by hand.

I have created a submission file (submission_code.sh) which contains the following code:

Code:

gcta64 --reml-bivar $a $b --out out_$a_$b; sleep 1

And I have created a loop file which contains the following code:

Code:

for a in `seq 1 52`
 do
  for b in `seq 1 52`
   do
  echo $a $b
  bash submission_code.sh
 sleep 1
done
done

The code runs, but it does not pass over the sequence numbers from the loop file to the submission file. Instead for "a" and "b" that values used are 1 and 2, which are the default used by the programme.

Can anyone help with this?

Please use CODE tags as required by forum rules!

Either put

Code:

gcta64 --reml-bivar $a $b --out out_$a_$b; sleep 1

directly into the for loops,
or pass them like

Code:

bash submission_code.sh "$a" "$b"

and have a submission_code.sh

Code:

gcta64 --reml-bivar "$1" "$2" --out out_"$1"_"$2"; sleep 1

Amazing, this is great! Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it
