I made a galaxy tool which is just create a txt file. When I use this tool , I wish to let it show the detail of the txt.

In the xml file I use :

But it does not work, when I click the “eye” button in galaxy, a download dialog appear, but it is just a empty file.

Could somebody tell me what should I do , I want show the txt detail in the galaxy.

In ~in ~/database/files/ folder there is just a folder named 000 and there are lots of *.dat file in 000 folder

I assume, the latest *.dat file is the txt file you are interested? Alternatively, click on the "!" button (next to the download buttan) and you will see the full path Regards, Hans-Rudolf
