hi, how do i reference conditional variables from within the change_format tag? i couldn't find any examples that did this. an example tool config xml file follows. thanks! ed kirton us doe jgi <tool id="fasta_get_seqs" name="Get Sequences"> <description>Create a Fasta/Qual file of selected sequences</description> <command interpreter="perl">fasta_get_seqs.pl $intype.infile $input_table $id_column $ignorecase $cosorted $output #for $i in $filters "${i.condition} ${i.column} ${i.value}" #end for </command> <inputs> <conditional name='intype'> <param name='sel' type='select' label='Input file type'> <option value='Fasta'>Fasta</option> <option value='Qual454'>Qual454</option> </param> <when value='Fasta'> <param name="infile" type="data" format="fasta" label="Fasta file"/> </when> <when value='Qual454'> <param name="infile" type="data" format="qual454" label="Qual454 file"/> </when> </conditional> <param name="input_table" type="data" format="tabular" label="File containing target IDs"/> <param name='id_column' type='data_column' data_ref='input_table' label='Column containing sequence IDs'/> <param name='ignorecase' type='boolean' truevalue='1' falsevalue='0' label='Ignore case?' /> <param name="cosorted" type="boolean" checked="true" truevalue='1' falsevalue='0' label='Sequences appear in same order in both files'/> <repeat name='filters' title='Filter'> <param name='condition' type='select' label='Condition'> <option value='s_eq'>text equals</option> <option value='s_ne'>text not equals</option> <option value='s_contains'>text contains</option> <option value='s_startswith'>text starts with</option> <option value='s_endswith'>text ends with</option> <option value='n_eq'>number ==</option> <option value='n_ne'>number !=</option> <option value='n_gt'>number &gt;</option> <option value='n_lt'>number &lt;</option> </param> <param name='column' type='data_column' data_ref='input_table' label='On column'/> <param name='value' type='text' label='Value'/> </repeat> </inputs> <outputs> <data name="output" format="fasta"> <change_format> <when input="intype.sel" value="Qual454" format="qual454" /> </change_format> </data> </outputs> <help> **What it does** Produces a Fasta/Qual file of selected sequences. If the files are cosorted, a much faster algorithm is used. If it fails, it assumes the files were not cosorted and automatically tries again using the slower algorithm which does not require cosorted files. One or more filters may be included to evaluate text (equal, not equal, contains, starts with) or numeric data (==, !=, &gt;, &lt;). </help> </tool> _______________________________________________ galaxy-dev mailing list galaxy-dev(a)lists.bx.psu.edu http://lists.bx.psu.edu/listinfo/galaxy-dev
