format_custom.pl cannot open custom tsv file

01Andrea01 opened this issue · comments

I built my own tsv file from selected taxa in BOLD (see attached) and I'm trying to make a reference database.

perl format_custom.pl -custom ./home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods/Diplura.tsv -taxonomy /home/andrea/mkCOInr/COInr/taxonomy.tsv -outdir /home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods

I get the error message
Cannot open ./home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods/Diplura.tsv

and this is the log:

2022-07-19-12-20-53
PARAMETERS:
check_seqid_format: 1
custom: ./home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods/Diplura.tsv

max_n: 5

outdir: /home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods
taxonomy: /home/andrea/mkCOInr/COInr/taxonomy.tsv

Read input file

what am I doing wrong? The tsv file seems correctly formatted to me

Hi Andrea,

The dot before the first slash in the following path represents your current working directory.
./home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods/Diplura.tsv

Just delete the dot:
/home/andrea/mkCOInr/terrestrial_arthropods/Diplura.tsv

Cheers,

Hi Emese,
Why am I so stupid? A simple typo. I went checking everything from the file format to the script. Just a stupid typo.
Sorry for the hassle and thank you for the kind answer.
Cheers,
Andrea

No problem!
