  • Bash Error "Unexpected token near done"

    Hi!

    I wrote the following little bash script:
    Code:
    echo Processing...
    
    inputDir="/home/j490h/localhome/fastq/"
    output_folder="/home/j490h/localhome/fastq/textfiles/"
    
    for input_FASTQfile in `ls ${inputDir}/*fastq*`
    do
            filename_only=`basename ${input_FASTQfile}`
    	echo ${filename_only}
    	zcat ${filename_only} | sed -n '1~4p' > ${output_folder}/${filename_only}_ReadIDs.txt
    done
    
    output_folder2="/home/j490h/localhome/fastq/textfiles/combined_textfiles/"
    trimmed="trimmed"
    shuffled="shuffled"
    reconstructed="reconstructed"
    
    for file1 in `ls ${output_folder}/*txt*`
    do
    	for file2 in `ls ${output_folder}/*txt*` 
    	do
    		if [ ${trimmed} in ${file1} & ${file2} ]
    		then 
    			cat ${file1} ${file2} > ${output_folder2}/${file1}_${file2}_combined.txt
    		elif [ ${shuffled} in ${file1} & ${file2} ]
    		then
    			cat ${file1} ${file2} > ${output_folder2}/${file1}_${file2}_combined.txt
    		elif [ ${reconstructed} in ${file1} & ${file2} ]
    		then
    			cat ${file1} ${file2} > ${output_folder2}/${file1}_${file2}_combined.txt
    		else
    			echo Invalid input FASTQfile
    	done
    done
    and I get the error:
    "Unexpected token near done" at the last two lines.
    Unfortunately, I dont know why...
    I already checked cat -v file.sh, but there do not seem to be unexpected characters or something...

    Do you have any idea?

    Greetings!

    I believe you are missing a
    fi
    line before the last two done lines

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

      Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
      by seqadmin


      Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
