Chapter 4. pre-sas.sh

The pre-sas.sh script is used to convert the IBD file from Genehunter 2 into a form that SAS Software can easily read. Genehunter 2 produces an odd file with a mix of tabs, spaces, and commas as delimiters.

Simply run the pre-sas.sh script on the IBD file: ./pre-sas.sh dump.ibd dump-sas.ibd. The first argument, dump.ibd in this example, is the name of the file which Genehunter 2 placed the IBDs into. The second argument, dump-sas.ibd in this example, is the file into which pre-sas.sh should save the output into. If second argument is not specified, the output will automatically be written to a file named the same as the input file, except the extension -sas is added before the . in the original filename.

Example 4-1. Running pre-sas.sh.

	  $ ./pre-sas.sh dump.ibd
	  Converting "dump.ibd" to "dump-sas.ibd"...done.
	  $
