Hi Mohamed, “$__user_email__” is filled in by galaxy when generating the command line, so you can directly refer to this in your command line. See https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/tool_factory_2/... <https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/tool_factory_2/rgToolFactory2.xml#L12> for an example. Best, Marius

Dear all, I would like to send as a parameter the name of the user (either user email or username). I tried in my xml file the option

<inputs> <param name="user_email" type="hidden" value="$__user_email__" />

</inputs>

But I have in results X__user_email__

Any clue ?

Thanks in advance,
