Dear Galaxy Community I frequently use pileup files in galaxy. The sequence read column contains characters like .,AaCcTtGgNn$* etc. I would like to be able to add a column to my tables that represents the number of instances of a given character in the read column. I can do this in excel with this type of formula: =len(I2)-len(substitute(I2,"A","") But of course, Excel can only handle a limited number of total lines. Do we have this functionality in Galaxy? If so how? If not..... please?
