    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

      The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
