Argument list too long

Open Lil-5 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hello Team,

When I run this line of code: "mash-Linux64-v2.3/mash sketch -o bacteria_reference bacteria_fa/*.fna", I am prompted with 'mash-Linux64-v2.3/mash: Argument list too long'. Is there a good solution?

Thanks, Dr. Wu

Mayl ask in what format should l input the file/data when running this line of code "- List input. Lines in each specify paths tosequence files, one per line" ? I hope you can provide an example. Thank you very much.

"Argument list too long" is not a Mash issue, but related to your OS. List input is a text while with the format:

/path/to/where/is/genome1.fna
/path/to/where/is/genome2.fna
/path/to/where/is/genome3.fna
..
