Hello Di, The tool "Filter and Sort -> Select" can be used to select lines from a .bed file for chr1 only. On the tool form, in text box labeled "the pattern:", enter this term: ^chr1\s Then sort with the tool "Sort" from the same tool group. Hopefully this helps, Best, Jen Galaxy team On 12/5/11 3:23 PM, Di Nguyen wrote:

Hi all,

I have a a bed file that I would like sort for chromosome 1 ONLY? Would you tell me the syntax to "select" lines that are chromosome 1 only instead of 1 or 10,11-19?

Thank you very much,
