How to create tabular matrix from the output of bash loop?

I have a bashloop that looks like below:



for f in sorted*.bam; do
echo "Counts for positive: " $f
bedtools coverage -a my_region.bed -b $f -bed -s
echo "Counts for negative: " $f
bedtools coverage -a my_region.bed -b $f -bed -S
done > >(tee total_coverage_on_each_strand.txt) 2>&1


The output I am saving as total_coverage_on_each_strand.txt for $f=1 looks like this:



Counts for positive:  sorted1.bam
reverseKF898354 0 14580 my_region 0 + 200229 14347 14580 0.9840192
Counts for negative: sorted1.bam
reverseKF898354 0 14580 my_region 0 + 305934 14320 14580 0.9821674


I was wondering if there is a way to save this in a variable instead of doing > >(tee total_coverage_on_each_strand.txt) 2>&1. What do I need to do in above for loop so that I could get something like below instead?



sample  type    counts
sorted1.bam Counts for positive 200229
sorted1.bam Counts for negative 305934

  • A first step: replace echo "Counts for positive: " $f with echo -n "$f"

  • Why would you write > >(tee) instead of | tee?
