    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

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

      Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

      We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
