I have some NGS data that gets processing by a variety of tools in a for loop. The end output looks like below:

00-0000_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt
01-0101_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt
02-0202_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt

Basically, what I am trying to do is add another identifier to each file matching the numerical prefix to an lines 3,4,5 of an analysis file.

analysis file contents

status: complete 
id names:  
00-0000_Last-First 
01-0101_LastN-FirstN
02-0202_La-Fi

The bash below works great if all 3 files are already in the directory, but they are added one at a time and the previous is repeating when the code executes. I can not seem to alter the code correctly so the filenames do not repeat. Thank you :).

while IFS="_" read -r id newname;do
#echo "id=$newid - newname=$newname"  #for cross check 
oldfilename=$(find . -name "${id}*.txt" -printf %f)
[ -n "$oldfilename" ] &&  mv "$oldfilename" "${id}_${newname}_${oldfilename#*_}";
done < <(tail -n+3 analysis.txt)

So if in /home/percent ---- this is the directory that I execute the code in after cd to it, should I define it in the loop?

00-0000_Last-First_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt

code executes a second time:
00-0000_Last-First_Last-First_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt  ---- file already in dir
01-0101_LastN-FirstN_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt

code executes a third time:
00-0000_Last-First_Last-First_Last-First_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt  ---- file already in dir
01-0101_LastN-FirstN_LastN-FirstNfbn1_20xcoverage.txt   --- this is the 2nd file in dir
02-0202_La-Fi_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt

desired output
 00-0000_Last-First_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt
 01-0101_LastN-FirstN_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt
 02-0202_La-Fi_fbn1_20xcoverage.txt

why don't you rename them after all jobs done?

That is what I currently do, but each of the files is processed individually so I am trying to rename that file before being saved in the directory. Alternatively, maybe a function could be used to rename all of them but the ideal would be to rename or add the text to the individual file if possible. Thank you :).

you may let the processer to do this or use a moniter that check file changes to rename newly added result file.
