  • bash shell question

    I tried to do a simple task in batch--unzipping many gz files. I have many .gz files, but how come it only unzipped one file then finished? Anything wrong with my script? thanks. John


    ## unzip fastq.gz
    for i in *.fastq.gz
    do
    #echo $i
    zcat "$i" > "${i%.*}"
    done

    have you tried 'gunzip *.fastq.gz' ?

      gunzip *.fastq.gz will delete original gz files. i want to keep original files.

          I tried
          for i in `ls *.fastq.gz`; do gunzip -c $i > ${i%.gz}; done

          still only unzipped just first file then finished. no error. very strange.

            I tested your version of the command and it worked fine. It could be something related to permissions.

              thanks. I thought it might be related to something internal. will find out.

                for i in $(ls *.gz); do sn=`echo $i | sed 's/\.gz$//'`; zcat $i > $sn; done;

                  another nice way to do it.

                  I really think something is going on with my server. It still finished after doing one file. I will ask my admin tomorrow. Will let you know.

                  By any chance did this happen to any one of you here?
