Hello everyone, i am new in bash scripting, so I want your help on How to execute 100 directories with pared end _1.fastq and _2.fastq sequence files.

For indivisibly here how I am doing For 1st sample

cd SSR1
python /home/jitender/miniconda3/envs/py2/bin/after.py -1 ./SRR1/ERR13556376.lite.1_1.fastq -2 ./SRR1/ERR13556376.lite.1_2.fastq

for 2nd sample

cd SSR2
python /home/jitender/miniconda3/envs/py2/bin/after.py -1 ./SRR2/SRR13556377.lite.1_1.fastq -2 ./SRR2/SRR13556377.lite.1_2.fastq

like this i have 100 samples, for individually it is quit bit difficult or there is chance of mistake while preparing script.

So, i am trying to prepare bash script it but i am not able to understand how to proceed with. I searched online and find some solution but isn't working for me.

So, anyone out there please help me how should i proceed with.

Not sure if I have understood your folder organisation but try to go inside your Data folder, (where all the SRR directories are located) and:

for d in SRR*/; do
    # your command
     python  /home/jitender/miniconda3/envs/py2/bin/after.py -1 $d/*_1.fastq -2 $d/*_2.fastq
done

Hi iraun

I need one more help and suggestions above code generating QC report in my Data directory. Due to this there will be chance of replacing existing one, so Is there any code to generate QC report in same SRR* directory

Thank you vey much :)

[iraun]

Hey, glad that worked :). So, if I understand it, you want the output QC files inside each SRR directory? If so, I guess you could try something like:

for d in SRR*/; do
     cd $d;
     # your command
     python  /home/jitender/miniconda3/envs/py2/bin/after.py -1 *_1.fastq -2 *_2.fastq
     cd ..
done
