	<title><![CDATA[Linux Sort Commands for Bioinformatics]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Almost all the scripting languages such as Perl, Python etc have built-in sort, but unfortunately none of them are as flexible as sort command. But one when it come to space efficiency GNU sort stands at the top. It can sort a 20Gb file with less than 2Gb memory. It is not trivial to implement so powerful a sort by yourself.</p><p>sort a space-delimited file based on its first column, then the second if the first is the same, and so on:<br />sort input.txt</p><p>sort a huge file (GNU sort ONLY):<br />sort -S 1500M -t $HOME/tmp input.txt &gt; sorted.txt</p><p>sort starting from the third column, skipping the first two columns:<br />sort +2 input.txt</p><p>sort the second column as numbers, descending order; if identical, sort the 3rd as strings, ascending order:<br />sort -k2,2nr -k3,3 input.txt</p><p>sort starting from the 4th character at column 2, as numbers:<br />sort -k2.4n input.txt</p><p>More Linxu sort command information<br /><br />If you have any sort commands you'd like to share, please add them to our comments section below. For more help, you can also type:<br /><br />man sort<br /><br />or<br /><br />sort --help<br /><br />on your Unix/Linux system.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[AWK for beginners !]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>AWK is a standard tool on every POSIX-compliant UNIX system. It&rsquo;s like flex/lex, from the command-line, perfect for text-processing tasks and other scripting needs. It has a C-like syntax, but without mandatory semicolons (although, you should use them anyway, because they are required when you&rsquo;re writing one-liners, something AWK excels at), manual memory management, or static typing. It excels at text processing. You can call to it from a shell script, or you can use it as a stand-alone scripting language.</p><p>Why use AWK instead of Perl? Readability. AWK is easier to read than Perl. For simple text-processing scripts, particularly ones that read files line by line and split on delimiters, AWK is probably the right tool for the job.</p><div><pre><span>#!/usr/bin/awk -f</span>

<span># Comments are like this</span>


<span># AWK programs consist of a collection of patterns and actions.</span>
<span>pattern1</span> <span>{</span> <span>action</span><span>;</span> <span>}</span> <span># just like lex</span>
<span>pattern2</span> <span>{</span> <span>action</span><span>;</span> <span>}</span>

<span># There is an implied loop and AWK automatically reads and parses each</span>
<span># record of each file supplied. Each record is split by the FS delimiter,</span>
<span># which defaults to white-space (multiple spaces,tabs count as one)</span>
<span># You can assign FS either on the command line (-F C) or in your BEGIN</span>
<span># pattern</span>

<span># One of the special patterns is BEGIN. The BEGIN pattern is true</span>
<span># BEFORE any of the files are read. The END pattern is true after</span>
<span># an End-of-file from the last file (or standard-in if no files specified)</span>
<span># There is also an output field separator (OFS) that you can assign, which</span>
<span># defaults to a single space</span>

<span>BEGIN</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># BEGIN will run at the beginning of the program. It's where you put all</span>
    <span># the preliminary set-up code, before you process any text files. If you</span>
    <span># have no text files, then think of BEGIN as the main entry point.</span>

    <span># Variables are global. Just set them or use them, no need to declare..</span>
    <span>count</span> <span>=</span> <span>0</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Operators just like in C and friends</span>
    <span>a</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>+</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>b</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>-</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>c</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>*</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>d</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>/</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span> <span># integer division</span>
    <span>e</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>%</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span> <span># modulus</span>
    <span>f</span> <span>=</span> <span>count</span> <span>^</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span> <span># exponentiation</span>

    <span>a</span> <span>+=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>b</span> <span>-=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>c</span> <span>*=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>d</span> <span>/=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>e</span> <span>%=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>
    <span>f</span> <span>^=</span> <span>1</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Incrementing and decrementing by one</span>
    <span>a</span><span>++</span><span>;</span>
    <span>b</span><span>--</span><span>;</span>

    <span># As a prefix operator, it returns the incremented value</span>
    <span>++</span><span>a</span><span>;</span>
    <span>--</span><span>b</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Notice, also, no punctuation such as semicolons to terminate statements</span>

    <span># Control statements</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>count</span> <span>==</span> <span>0</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Starting with count of 0"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>else</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Huh?"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Or you could use the ternary operator</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>(</span><span>count</span> <span>==</span> <span>0</span><span>)</span> <span>?</span> <span>"Starting with count of 0"</span> <span>:</span> <span>"Huh?"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Blocks consisting of multiple lines use braces</span>
    <span>while</span> <span>(</span><span>a</span> <span>&lt;</span> <span>10</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"String concatenation is done"</span> <span>" with a series"</span> <span>" of"</span>
            <span>" space-separated strings"</span><span>;</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>a</span><span>;</span>

        <span>a</span><span>++</span><span>;</span>
    <span>}</span>

    <span>for</span> <span>(</span><span>i</span> <span>=</span> <span>0</span><span>;</span> <span>i</span> <span>&lt;</span> <span>10</span><span>;</span> <span>i</span><span>++</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Good ol' for loop"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># As for comparisons, they're the standards:</span>
    <span># a &lt; b   # Less than</span>
    <span># a &lt;= b  # Less than or equal</span>
    <span># a != b  # Not equal</span>
    <span># a == b  # Equal</span>
    <span># a &gt; b   # Greater than</span>
    <span># a &gt;= b  # Greater than or equal</span>

    <span># Logical operators as well</span>
    <span># a &amp;&amp; b  # AND</span>
    <span># a || b  # OR</span>

    <span># In addition, there's the super useful regular expression match</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>"foo"</span> <span>~</span> <span>"^fo+$"</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Fooey!"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>"boo"</span> <span>!~</span> <span>"^fo+$"</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Boo!"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Arrays</span>
    <span>arr</span><span>[</span><span>0</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"foo"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>arr</span><span>[</span><span>1</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"bar"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># You can also initialize an array with the built-in function split()</span>

    <span>n</span> <span>=</span> <span>split</span><span>(</span><span>"foo:bar:baz"</span><span>,</span> <span>arr</span><span>,</span> <span>":"</span><span>);</span>

    <span># You also have associative arrays (actually, they're all associative arrays)</span>
    <span>assoc</span><span>[</span><span>"foo"</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"bar"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>assoc</span><span>[</span><span>"bar"</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"baz"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># And multi-dimensional arrays, with some limitations I won't mention here</span>
    <span>multidim</span><span>[</span><span>0</span><span>,</span><span>0</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"foo"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>multidim</span><span>[</span><span>0</span><span>,</span><span>1</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"bar"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>multidim</span><span>[</span><span>1</span><span>,</span><span>0</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"baz"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>multidim</span><span>[</span><span>1</span><span>,</span><span>1</span><span>]</span> <span>=</span> <span>"boo"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># You can test for array membership</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>"foo"</span> <span>in</span> <span>assoc</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"Fooey!"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># You can also use the 'in' operator to traverse the keys of an array</span>
    <span>for</span> <span>(</span><span>key</span> <span>in</span> <span>assoc</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>assoc</span><span>[</span><span>key</span><span>];</span>

    <span># The command line is in a special array called ARGV</span>
    <span>for</span> <span>(</span><span>argnum</span> <span>in</span> <span>ARGV</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>ARGV</span><span>[</span><span>argnum</span><span>];</span>

    <span># You can remove elements of an array</span>
    <span># This is particularly useful to prevent AWK from assuming the arguments</span>
    <span># are files for it to process</span>
    <span>delete</span> <span>ARGV</span><span>[</span><span>1</span><span>];</span>

    <span># The number of command line arguments is in a variable called ARGC</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>ARGC</span><span>;</span>

    <span># AWK has several built-in functions. They fall into three categories. I'll</span>
    <span># demonstrate each of them in their own functions, defined later.</span>

    <span>return_value</span> <span>=</span> <span>arithmetic_functions</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>,</span> <span>b</span><span>,</span> <span>c</span><span>);</span>
    <span>string_functions</span><span>();</span>
    <span>io_functions</span><span>();</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># Here's how you define a function</span>
<span>function</span> <span>arithmetic_functions</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>,</span> <span>b</span><span>,</span> <span>c</span><span>,</span>     <span>d</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># Probably the most annoying part of AWK is that there are no local</span>
    <span># variables. Everything is global. For short scripts, this is fine, even</span>
    <span># useful, but for longer scripts, this can be a problem.</span>

    <span># There is a work-around (ahem, hack). Function arguments are local to the</span>
    <span># function, and AWK allows you to define more function arguments than it</span>
    <span># needs. So just stick local variable in the function declaration, like I</span>
    <span># did above. As a convention, stick in some extra whitespace to distinguish</span>
    <span># between actual function parameters and local variables. In this example,</span>
    <span># a, b, and c are actual parameters, while d is merely a local variable.</span>

    <span># Now, to demonstrate the arithmetic functions</span>

    <span># Most AWK implementations have some standard trig functions</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>sin</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>);</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>cos</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>);</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>atan2</span><span>(</span><span>b</span><span>,</span> <span>a</span><span>);</span> <span># arc tangent of b / a</span>

    <span># And logarithmic stuff</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>exp</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>);</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>log</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>);</span>

    <span># Square root</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>sqrt</span><span>(</span><span>a</span><span>);</span>

    <span># Truncate floating point to integer</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>int</span><span>(</span><span>5.34</span><span>);</span> <span># localvar =&gt; 5</span>

    <span># Random numbers</span>
    <span>srand</span><span>();</span> <span># Supply a seed as an argument. By default, it uses the time of day</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>rand</span><span>();</span> <span># Random number between 0 and 1.</span>

    <span># Here's how to return a value</span>
    <span>return</span> <span>localvar</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

<span>function</span> <span>string_functions</span><span>(</span>    <span>localvar</span><span>,</span> <span>arr</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># AWK, being a string-processing language, has several string-related</span>
    <span># functions, many of which rely heavily on regular expressions.</span>

    <span># Search and replace, first instance (sub) or all instances (gsub)</span>
    <span># Both return number of matches replaced</span>
    <span>localvar</span> <span>=</span> <span>"fooooobar"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>sub</span><span>(</span><span>"fo+"</span><span>,</span> <span>"Meet me at the "</span><span>,</span> <span>localvar</span><span>);</span> <span># localvar =&gt; "Meet me at the bar"</span>
    <span>gsub</span><span>(</span><span>"e+"</span><span>,</span> <span>"."</span><span>,</span> <span>localvar</span><span>);</span> <span># localvar =&gt; "m..t m. at th. bar"</span>

    <span># Search for a string that matches a regular expression</span>
    <span># index() does the same thing, but doesn't allow a regular expression</span>
    <span>match</span><span>(</span><span>localvar</span><span>,</span> <span>"t"</span><span>);</span> <span># =&gt; 4, since the 't' is the fourth character</span>

    <span># Split on a delimiter</span>
    <span>n</span> <span>=</span> <span>split</span><span>(</span><span>"foo-bar-baz"</span><span>,</span> <span>arr</span><span>,</span> <span>"-"</span><span>);</span> <span># a[1] = "foo"; a[2] = "bar"; a[3] = "baz"; n = 3</span>

    <span># Other useful stuff</span>
    <span>sprintf</span><span>(</span><span>"%s %d %d %d"</span><span>,</span> <span>"Testing"</span><span>,</span> <span>1</span><span>,</span> <span>2</span><span>,</span> <span>3</span><span>);</span> <span># =&gt; "Testing 1 2 3"</span>

<span>}</span>

<span>function</span> <span>io_functions</span><span>(</span>    <span>localvar</span><span>)</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># You've already seen print</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>"Hello world"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># There's also printf</span>
    <span>printf</span><span>(</span><span>"%s %d %d %d\n"</span><span>,</span> <span>"Testing"</span><span>,</span> <span>1</span><span>,</span> <span>2</span><span>,</span> <span>3</span><span>);</span>

    <span># AWK doesn't have file handles, per se. It will automatically open a file</span>
    <span># handle for you when you use something that needs one. The string you used</span>
    <span># for this can be treated as a file handle, for purposes of I/O. This makes</span>
    <span># it feel sort of like shell scripting, but to get the same output, the string</span>
    <span># must match exactly, so use a variable:</span>

    <span>outfile</span> <span>=</span> <span>"/tmp/foobar.txt"</span><span>;</span>

    <span>print</span> <span>"foobar"</span> <span>&gt;</span> <span>outfile</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Now the string outfile is a file handle. You can close it:</span>
    <span>close</span><span>(</span><span>outfile</span><span>);</span>

    <span># Here's how you run something in the shell</span>
    <span>system</span><span>(</span><span>"echo foobar"</span><span>);</span> <span># =&gt; prints foobar</span>

    <span># Reads a line from standard input and stores in localvar</span>
    <span>getline</span> <span>localvar</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Reads a line from a pipe (again, use a string so you close it properly)</span>
    <span>cmd</span> <span>=</span> <span>"echo foobar"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>cmd</span> <span>|</span> <span>getline</span> <span>localvar</span><span>;</span> <span># localvar =&gt; "foobar"</span>
    <span>close</span><span>(</span><span>cmd</span><span>);</span>

    <span># Reads a line from a file and stores in localvar</span>
    <span>infile</span> <span>=</span> <span>"/tmp/foobar.txt"</span><span>;</span>
    <span>getline</span> <span>localvar</span> <span>&lt;</span> <span>infile</span><span>;</span> 
    <span>close</span><span>(</span><span>infile</span><span>);</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># As I said at the beginning, AWK programs consist of a collection of patterns</span>
<span># and actions. You've already seen the BEGIN pattern. Other</span>
<span># patterns are used only if you're processing lines from files or standard</span>
<span># input.</span>
<span>#</span>
<span># When you pass arguments to AWK, they are treated as file names to process.</span>
<span># It will process them all, in order. Think of it like an implicit for loop,</span>
<span># iterating over the lines in these files. these patterns and actions are like</span>
<span># switch statements inside the loop. </span>

<span>/^fo+bar$/</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># This action will execute for every line that matches the regular</span>
    <span># expression, /^fo+bar$/, and will be skipped for any line that fails to</span>
    <span># match it. Let's just print the line:</span>

    <span>print</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Whoa, no argument! That's because print has a default argument: $0.</span>
    <span># $0 is the name of the current line being processed. It is created</span>
    <span># automatically for you.</span>

    <span># You can probably guess there are other $ variables. Every line is</span>
    <span># implicitly split before every action is called, much like the shell</span>
    <span># does. And, like the shell, each field can be access with a dollar sign</span>

    <span># This will print the second and fourth fields in the line</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>$</span><span>2</span><span>,</span> <span>$</span><span>4</span><span>;</span>

    <span># AWK automatically defines many other variables to help you inspect and</span>
    <span># process each line. The most important one is NF</span>

    <span># Prints the number of fields on this line</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>NF</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Print the last field on this line</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>$</span><span>NF</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># Every pattern is actually a true/false test. The regular expression in the</span>
<span># last pattern is also a true/false test, but part of it was hidden. If you</span>
<span># don't give it a string to test, it will assume $0, the line that it's</span>
<span># currently processing. Thus, the complete version of it is this:</span>

<span>$</span><span>0</span> <span>~</span> <span>/^fo+bar$/</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>"Equivalent to the last pattern"</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

<span>a</span> <span>&gt;</span> <span>0</span> <span>{</span>
    <span># This will execute once for each line, as long as a is positive</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># You get the idea. Processing text files, reading in a line at a time, and</span>
<span># doing something with it, particularly splitting on a delimiter, is so common</span>
<span># in UNIX that AWK is a scripting language that does all of it for you, without</span>
<span># you needing to ask. All you have to do is write the patterns and actions</span>
<span># based on what you expect of the input, and what you want to do with it.</span>

<span># Here's a quick example of a simple script, the sort of thing AWK is perfect</span>
<span># for. It will read a name from standard input and then will print the average</span>
<span># age of everyone with that first name. Let's say you supply as an argument the</span>
<span># name of a this data file:</span>
<span>#</span>
<span># Bob Jones 32</span>
<span># Jane Doe 22</span>
<span># Steve Stevens 83</span>
<span># Bob Smith 29</span>
<span># Bob Barker 72</span>
<span>#</span>
<span># Here's the script:</span>

<span>BEGIN</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># First, ask the user for the name</span>
    <span>print</span> <span>"What name would you like the average age for?"</span><span>;</span>

    <span># Get a line from standard input, not from files on the command line</span>
    <span>getline</span> <span>name</span> <span>&lt;</span> <span>"/dev/stdin"</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># Now, match every line whose first field is the given name</span>
<span>$</span><span>1</span> <span>==</span> <span>name</span> <span>{</span>

    <span># Inside here, we have access to a number of useful variables, already</span>
    <span># pre-loaded for us:</span>
    <span># $0 is the entire line</span>
    <span># $3 is the third field, the age, which is what we're interested in here</span>
    <span># NF is the number of fields, which should be 3</span>
    <span># NR is the number of records (lines) seen so far</span>
    <span># FILENAME is the name of the file being processed</span>
    <span># FS is the field separator being used, which is " " here</span>
    <span># ...etc. There are plenty more, documented in the man page.</span>

    <span># Keep track of a running total and how many lines matched</span>
    <span>sum</span> <span>+=</span> <span>$</span><span>3</span><span>;</span>
    <span>nlines</span><span>++</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

<span># Another special pattern is called END. It will run after processing all the</span>
<span># text files. Unlike BEGIN, it will only run if you've given it input to</span>
<span># process. It will run after all the files have been read and processed</span>
<span># according to the rules and actions you've provided. The purpose of it is</span>
<span># usually to output some kind of final report, or do something with the</span>
<span># aggregate of the data you've accumulated over the course of the script.</span>

<span>END</span> <span>{</span>
    <span>if</span> <span>(</span><span>nlines</span><span>)</span>
        <span>print</span> <span>"The average age for "</span> <span>name</span> <span>" is "</span> <span>sum</span> <span>/</span> <span>nlines</span><span>;</span>
<span>}</span>

	<title><![CDATA[Search Shell Command History]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>We use couple of hundreads of command in daily basis. Most of them are actually repeated several time. The question remain open how do I search old command history under bash shell and modify or reuse it? <br /><br />Now a days almost all modern shell allows you to search command history if enabled by user. Use history command to display the history list with line numbers. Lines listed with with a * have been modified by user.</p><p><br /><strong>Shell history search command</strong><br /><br />Type history at a shell prompt:<br />$ history</p><p>It will display the list of all used commandline history with an serial number.<br /><br />To search particular command, enter:<br />$ history | grep command-name<br />$ history | egrep -i 'scp|ssh|ftp'<br />Emacs Line-Edit Mode Command History Searching<br /><br />To get previous command containing string, hit [CTRL]+[r] followed by search string:<br /><br />(reverse-i-search): <br /><br />To get previous command, hit [CTRL]+[p]. You can also use up arrow key.<br /><br />CTRL-p<br /><br />To get next command, hit [CTRL]+[n]. You can also use down arrow key.<br /><br />CTRL-n<br /><br /></p><p><strong>fc command</strong></p><p>Apart from hostory command there are fc command to extract the command from history. The fc stands for either "find command" or "fix command.</p><p>For example list last 10 command, enter:<br />$ fc -l 10<br />To list commands 130 through 150, enter:<br />$ fc -l 130 150<br />To list all commands since the last command beginning with ssh, enter:<br />$ fc -l ssh<br />You can edit commands 1 through 5 using vi text editor, enter:<br />$ fc -e vi 1 5</p><p><strong>Delete command history</strong><br /><br />The -c option causes the history list to be cleared by deleting all of the entries:<br />$ history -c</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p><span>It is amusing how brain of bioinformaticians work! Learning a new programming language for days feels so much of fun that making 5 minute discussion with neighbours (unless under special circumstances!) in our own mother-tongue. Today every bioinformatician keeps more than few languages and core IT toolkits on their plate. It has become mandatory to be able to mould different code snippets to build our own custom workflows, and thus keeping syntax at our fingertips has become essential.Although Google is best way to get syntax problem solved, it is not a bad idea to keep reference sheets is our smartphones or stick out some printed sheets on the back of your door, in the old fashion way!!</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="http://infoplatter.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/bioinformaticians-pocket-reference/" rel="nofollow">http://infoplatter.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/bioinformaticians-pocket-reference/</a></p>]]></description>
