Heudiconv on multiple subjects

1

Hello,
Im using heudiconv and it works when I input one subject. Although, when I include a list of subjects it does not work. It outputs INFO: Need to process 0 study sessions.
I use:
singularity run …
/…/nipy_heudiconv…img
-d …
-s cat ‘participants_in.txt’ -f …
-c dcm2niix -b -o …

When I instead use -s subjectName it runs it correctly.
Any idea on why this does not work?

Heudiconv does not support input files with subject IDs, but this should be fairly easy to do in bash.
Consider a file subjects.txt that contains the following

subject1
subject2
subject3

You could pass the contents from that file into your heudiconv subjects by specifying

singularity run ...
....
-s $(cat subjects.txt | tr '\n' ' ')
...

and it should translate to

...
-s subject1 subject2 subject3
