I have 60 text files of different lengths and same column names.

For example:

cat Sample_145_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk '{print $14}' | sort | uniq -c

  19258 circRNA

    612 ciRNA



cat Sample_146_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk '{print $14}' | sort | uniq -c

  17791 circRNA

    729 ciRNA



cat Sample_147_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk '{print $14}' | sort | uniq -c

  22838 circRNA

    686 ciRNA



cat Sample_148_Chimeric.out.junction.new.back_spliced_junction.bed.Circexplorer2.txt | gawk '{print $14}' | sort | uniq -c

  19404 circRNA

    475 ciRNA

I want to produce a 'master' table of all identified circRNAs, with readnumber as column for each sample and flankintronas rownames:

If all of the columns in all of the files are in the same order, then just concat them together with >>:

for x in {1..60}; do 

    # These flags for tail just cut of the top line, which is your headers

    tail -n 2 Sample_$x_blah.txt >> Sample_master.txt

    # and the double carat makes the output append^ 

done 

If not, then you can write the translations in awk sort of like you had above, i.e.

$ cat Sample_1.txt 

col1,col2,col3,col4 #etc 

$ cat Sample_2.txt 

col4,col3,col2,col1 

$ cat Sample_1.txt > Sample_Master.txt # no translation needed

$ awk '{print $4","$3","$2","$1 }' Sample_2.txt >> Sample_Master.txt 

But with 60 files, that would be more work than- something like writing a python script using python's csv lib...
