- I have thousands of files in my home folder that look like this:
> ls
6_2_S28_R1_001.fastq.gz
19_1_S160_R1_001.fastq.gz
25_3_S114_R1_001.fastq.gz
Here, as an example, I break down the name of the file 6_2_S28_R1_001.fastq.gz;
6_ = day6
2_ = replicate 2
S28_R1_001.fastq.gz = extensionIn the same directory I have the folders
rep1
rep2
rep3
My goal
I am trying to move each file to a different folder based on the prefix, that is related to the replicate
6_2_S28_R1_001.fastq.gz, #this file needs to be moved to rep2 <br>
19_1_S160_R1_001.fastq.gz, #this file needs to be moved to rep1 <br>
25_3_S114_R1_001.fastq.gz, #thus file needs to go to rep3 folder <br>
I have tried an unsuccessful for loop. Any help or guidance are appreciated
