External Email - Use Caution        

Sorry if I did not see it before, but parentheses are one of several special characters in the linux/unix shell.  So either don’t use them in file names, or you can try escaping them by preceeding each instance with a backslash so they are interpreted literally,
Sub-132_SAG_T1_MPRAGE_\(INC_UPPER_CX_AS_MUCH\)__2.nii -all
- or you could try putting the entire file name in quotes,
"Sub-132_SAG_T1_MPRAGE_(INC_UPPER_CX_AS_MUCH)__2.nii -all”

Dear R.,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
My apologies if I did not totally get your point – I moved the Sub-132 folder to Home directory and typed in the command as you suggested.  However, I still got the error as follows:
 
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~$ export SUBJECTS_DIR=/home/developer
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~$ recon-all -s Sub-132 -i Sub-132_SAG_T1_MPRAGE_(INC_UPPER_CX_AS_MUCH)__2.nii -all
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~$ ls
Desktop    ExternalHD.txt  license.txt  Pictures  Templates
Documents  fsl_507         matlab       Public    Videos
Downloads  guest_shared    Music        Sub-132
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~$ cd Sub-132
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~/Sub-132$ recon-all -s Sub-132 -i Sub-132_SAG_T1_MPRAGE_(INC_UPPER_CX_AS_MUCH)__2.nii -all
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~/Sub-132$
 
Would you please kindly advise?
 
Thank you so much!
 
Best regards,
 
Krystal

Hello Krystally,

Try putting the directory Sub-132 under your userid’s home directory, i.e., /home/developer/Sub-132, and then set SUBJECTS_DIR in the environment to point to it..  With the directory Sub-132 specified on your command line, you could then try,
$ export SUBJECTS_DIR=/home/developer

Dear Freesurfer experts,
 
 
Before running the command, I have converted DICOM files into NIFTI files.  I, then, moved the nii files to Desktop at FS.  They are in the folder named “Sub-132”.  However, I got the following errors:
 
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/Sub-132$ recon-all -s Sub-132 -i Sub-132_SAG_T1_MPRAGE_(INC_UPPER_CX_AS_MUCH)__2.nii -all
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
 
To make another attempt, I tried to process with another T1 image, and I got the following error:
 
developer@developer-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/Sub-132$ recon-all -s Sub-132 -i Sub-132_T1_COR_5_0.5__250_i00002.nii -all

/usr/local/freesurfer/7.2.0/subjects/Sub-132/scripts/patchdir.txt: No such file or directory.
 
I reckoned that the T1 images could not be processed with only 1 plane.  Would you please kindly advise on merging 3-plane T1 images into one comprehensive T1-weighter image for further processing? Or would you please let me know what went wrong in this case?
 
Thanks.
 
Best regards,
 
Krystal
