RE: problem using nested parallel

[Shantanu Unknown]

Hi Ole,

I tried

 parallel -k echo {1}/output/{2} :::: filename <(seq 19 22)

in bash shell and I have cut and pasted exactly what you wrote and the first 7 lines read

20110201095631_BCS0531-5043/output/19

20110203185605_BCS2312-5346/output/20

20110203192328_BCS2344-5529/output/21

20110203194331_BCS2343-5455/output/22

20110203200355_BCS2324-5239/output/

20110203202358_BCS2320-5313/output/

20110203204400_BCS2346-5239/output/

and the first 7 lines of the file are

20110201095631_BCS0531-5043

20110203185605_BCS2312-5346

20110203192328_BCS2344-5529

20110203194331_BCS2343-5455

20110203200355_BCS2324-5239

20110203202358_BCS2320-5313

20110203204400_BCS2346-5239

and this is not what I want.

Yes, the following example from the man page worked on my system

 ls *.es.* | perl -pe 'print; s/\.es//' | parallel -N2 cp {1} {2}

So I am guessing, something wrong with echo and nested parallel ?
