I have 60 text files of different lengths and same column names.



For example:



cat Sample_145_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk 'print $14' | sort | uniq -c
19258 circRNA
612 ciRNA

cat Sample_146_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk 'print $14' | sort | uniq -c
17791 circRNA
729 ciRNA

cat Sample_147_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk 'print $14' | sort | uniq -c
22838 circRNA
686 ciRNA

cat Sample_148_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk 'print $14' | sort | uniq -c
19404 circRNA
475 ciRNA


I want to produce a 'master' table of all identified circRNAs, with readnumber as column for each sample and flankintronas rownames:

          If all of the columns in all of the files are in the same order, then just concat them together with >>:



          for x in 1..60; do 
          # These flags for tail just cut of the top line, which is your headers
          tail -n 2 Sample_$x_blah.txt >> Sample_master.txt
          # and the double carat makes the output append^
          done


          If not, then you can write the translations in awk sort of like you had above, i.e.



          $ cat Sample_1.txt 
          col1,col2,col3,col4 #etc
          $ cat Sample_2.txt
          col4,col3,col2,col1
          $ cat Sample_1.txt > Sample_Master.txt # no translation needed
          $ awk 'print $4","$3","$2","$1 ' Sample_2.txt >> Sample_Master.txt


          But with 60 files, that would be more work than- something like writing a python script using python's csv lib...
