holidays.....so don't have my files here. It is applicable to a local galaxy instance as you probably figured out. You cannot do anything on the public galaxy instance. The documentation is here; option 21 sanitize. What you basically do is to exclude specific characters like the pipe from being sanitised. The grep option as mentioned at 21 is a good example that should explain it. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax Good luck. ________________________________ Van: KOH Jia Yu Jayce [kohj3@gis.a-star.edu.sg] Verzonden: maandag 15 augustus 2011 6:02 Aan: Bossers, Alex CC: 'galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu' Onderwerp: RE: filter Hi thanks, but what sanitizer option should I set it to? -----Original Message----- From: Bossers, Alex [mailto:Alex.Bossers@wur.nl] Sent: Thursday, August 04, 2011 3:11 PM To: KOH Jia Yu Jayce Cc: 'galaxy-dev@lists.bx.psu.edu' Subject: RE: filter If I understand it correctly; You have to check the sanitize option for your tool. The pipe (among others) is usually by default sanitised into X.

After I used <sanitizer sanitize="False"/> the problem was solved. Is the error intentional and has consequences that we might have missed? Or is it a bug?
