Hi Samuel, You can import and use the restore_text function from galaxy.lib.util to restore the characters. Alternatively, you may want to look at customizing the sanitizer you are using for the tool input, e.g. only sanitize the quote character that you are using around the command-line argument or even not sanitizing any characters if your python script can use a file ('configfile') as the input: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax#A.3Csanitiz... http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax#A.3Cconfigf... Thanks for using Galaxy, Dan On Nov 16, 2012, at 1:29 PM, Samuel Lampa wrote:
Hi,
I'm creating a galaxy tool [0] for querying external SPARQL (the Semantic Web query language) endpoints to get back data in tabular formats.
I run into a problem though, since SPARQL queries contain curly braces, and Galaxy obviously converts these to an internal representation __oc__ and __cc__ (I found the commit for this at [1])
My SPARQL query for testing looks like this:
SELECT ?s ?p ?o WHERE { ?s ?p ?o } LIMIT 25
Thus, when I send this to my (python) script as a commmand line argument, the curly braces comes in galaxy's internal representation.
Thus I was wondering if there is a way to get the braces in their correct format from galaxy, or if I should just go agead and convert them back in my own script? (i.e. will this behaviour be stable enough to rely on?)
