Split.groups missing destination file operand

Hello I’m having an issue with the split.groups command in mothur. Everything is formatted correctly the best I can tell. Take particular notice of line #6 below. This isn’t correct. The file name “Blackwel…” should come before .fasta. Any thoughts?

  1. mothur > split.groups(fasta = preplant.trim.contigs.trim.unique.abund.redundant.fasta , group = preplant.contigs.pick.abund.groups)

  2. Processing group: Blackwell_01_2_S381

  3. cp: missing destination file operand after ‘Blackwell_01_2_S381’

  4. Try ‘cp --help’ for more information.

Solved by using mothur 1.41.1 instead of 1.42.

There is a bug in split.groups command in version 1.42

Sorry - can you try again - we just reposted the correct 1.42.3 executable this morning and it should solve the problem.
