<p>Your problem is that you have written a script in <code>bash</code> but are then running it using <code>sh</code>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bash</a>, the Bourne-again shell, is not the same as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourne_shell" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bourne shell</a> (<code>sh</code>). What is more, on Ubuntu, <code>sh</code> is actually not even the Bourne shell but another minimal shell called <code>dash</code>. The <code>/bin/sh</code> on Ubuntu is a symlink to <code>dash</code>:</p>

<pre><code>$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar  1  2018 /bin/sh -&gt; dash
</code></pre>

<p>Dash is a POSIX compliant shell which means it has the features defined by the <a href="https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sh.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">POSIX specification</a> for the <code>sh</code> shell. In your case, the problem is caused by the fact that the <code>&lt;()</code> input redirection construct is supported by <code>bash</code> but not by <code>dash</code>. So, in order to run your script, you can do one of two things:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Make the script executable (<code>chmod a+x cadd.rsids.sh</code>), and then run it directly:</p>

<pre><code>/path/to/cadd.rsids.sh
</code></pre>

<p>This is the simplest approach since you already have the shebang line (<code>#!/bin/bash</code>) which will cause the script to be run by <code>bash</code> and not <code>sh</code>.</p></li>
<li><p>Run the script with <code>bash</code> instead of <code>sh</code>:</p>

<pre><code>bash /path/to/cadd.rsids.sh
</code></pre>

<p>Instead of</p>

<pre><code>sh /path/to/cadd.rsids.sh
</code></pre></li>
</ol>

<p>I wrote script for pasting rsids on CADD output. Here is script.</p>

<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
cd tmp
cut -f 1,2 CADD.tsv &gt; fileA
paste fileA &lt;(cut -f 2,125  CADD.tsv) &gt; myNewFile
bedtools intersect -a  myNewFile -b New.vcf -wb |cut -f 1-4,7 &gt; CADD.rsids.tsv
</code></pre>

<p>I have tested commands one by one and they work fine. But when I run script of these commands, it gives me this error.</p>

<pre><code>$ sh cadd.rsids.sh
4: cadd.rsids.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
</code></pre>

<p>Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this error?
Here are few lines of CADD.tsv file.</p>

The error complains about the parenthesis "("

If I remove "(" parathesis, this gives me error of `4: c.rsids.sh: cannot open cut: No such file`

Try to write a pipe with cut followed by paste command, see manual for paste command [here](https://ss64.com/bash/paste.html).

I have used this command `cut -f 2,125 CADD.tsv | paste fileA` but it gives me only first two columns which are 1 and 2.

`cut -f 2,125 CADD.tsv | paste fileA -` I think you need to put a dash at the end?

Sorry for bothering again but putting dash at the end paste only column #2, it does not give column 125

To be honest, both lines work on my machine: `paste fileA <(cut -f 2,125  CADD.tsv) > myNewFile` and `cut -f 2,125 CADD.tsv | paste fileA -` they give me 4 columns, last one called PHRED.

My first guess is that the script isn't being run by bash. What operating system are you using? What exact command do you use to launch the script? Also, both of your files have headers which are not the same so should be skipped when `paste`ing.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.5. I used this command `sh Cadd.rsids.sh`. I do not want header just columns. When I run these commands separately, they run without error. But not in script form. :(

Bash script error at paste command
# Bash script error at paste command

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-04)

I wrote script for pasting rsids on CADD output. Here is script.
#!/bin/bash
cd tmp
cut -f 1,2 CADD.tsv > fileA
paste fileA <(cut -f 2,125  CADD.tsv) > myNewFile
bedtools intersect -a  myNewFile -b New.vcf -wb |cut -f 1-4,7 > CADD.rsids.tsv

I have tested commands one by one and they work fine. But when I run script of these commands, it gives me this error.
$ sh cadd.rsids.sh
4: cadd.rsids.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this error?
Here are few lines of CADD.tsv file.

Your problem is that you have written a script in bash but are then running it using sh. Bash, the Bourne-again shell, is not the same as the Bourne shell (sh). What is more, on Ubuntu, sh is actually not even the Bourne shell but another minimal shell called dash. The /bin/sh on Ubuntu is a symlink to dash:
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar  1  2018 /bin/sh -> dash

Dash is a POSIX compliant shell which means it has the features defined by the POSIX specification for the sh shell. In your case, the problem is caused by the fact that the <() input redirection construct is supported by bash but not by dash. So, in order to run your script, you can do one of two things:

Make the script executable (chmod a+x cadd.rsids.sh), and then run it directly:
/path/to/cadd.rsids.sh

This is the simplest approach since you already have the shebang line (#!/bin/bash) which will cause the script to be run by bash and not sh.
Run the script with bash instead of sh:
bash /path/to/cadd.rsids.sh

Instead of
sh /path/to/cadd.rsids.sh
