Re: [galaxy-user] finding file format of data item

In theory, the correct attribute should be "$input1.extension". Let us know if that doesn't work though.

I have a tool that can be run on multiple data formats. But I need to run it differently depending on the format of the input dataset. How can I get the input data format?

In the tools .xml file I have:

<param format="interval,lped" name="input1" type="data" label="SNPs">

and

#if $input1.metadata.format=="interval" ...

The if doesn't work, what should be there?
