parallel Unknown option: link #55

Closed soilmicrobiome closed 3 years ago

soilmicrobiome commented 3 years ago

I am using running parallel version 20160722. But when i use the command;

_parallel -j 4 --link 'cat {1} {2} > raw_data_cat/{1/.}_cat.fastq' ::: raw_data/.fastq ::: raw_data_rc/rc.fastq

I get "parallel Unknown option: link" returned.

For the tutorial - what version of parallel is the link option used in? Wondering if the command was replace in a different version?

Thanks for any help

Those commands have been run with a few different versions of parallel, but I can confirm that the option is present in version 20170722, so I would recommend upgrading your version.
