Convert .rc file to synchronized file

Hiii, I have .rc file from snp-frequency-diff.pl script in popoolation2 tool and now i want to convert it back to synchronized (sync) file from which it is made originally. Actually i have deleted all previous files and now i am trying to make it from .rc file. Kindly help me out!!

Thanks in advance

popoolation2 tool .rc file type sync file

It would help if you described these rc and sync files and showed us some of their content. From a quick glance at the manual, the script you refer to seems to summarize allele statistics from a raw dataset. If that's the case and you deleted all raw data, I'm not sure if you'll be able to go back in time and retrieve raw data from a summarized result.

.rc file looks like this

##chr   pos     rc      allele_count    allele_states   deletion_sum    snp_type        major_alleles(maa)      minor_alleles(mia)      maa_1   maa_2   maa_3   maa_4   maa_5   mia_1   mia_2   mia_3   mia_4   mia_5

sync file looks like this

2R 2302 N 0:7:0:0:0:0 0:7:0:0:0:0
2R 2303 N 0:8:0:0:0:0 0:8:0:0:0:0
2R 2304 N 0:0:9:0:0:0 0:0:9:0:0:0
2R 2305 N 1:0:9:0:0:0 0:0:9:1:0:0

where

col1: reference contig
col2: position within the refernce contig
col3: reference character
col4: allele frequencies of population number 1
col5: allele frequencies of population number 2
coln: allele frequencies of population number n
