Table converter

Description

This tool selects and renames the defined columns from a table. It can also be used to convert text files into tables.

Parameters

  • Column list: Selects columns to be printed. Use comma separated lists of column numbers like 3,1,5
  • New column names: Add new header row for the selected columns. Use comma separated lists of column names like source,date,name. By default the first imported row is used as a header row.
  • Column separator: By default, Chipster uses tabulator as a column separator. If you wish to convert a text file into Chipster table you can use other column separators (that will be converted into tabulators). The optional column separators are: space or tabulator, semicolon (;), colon (:), comma (,) and pipe (|).
  • First row to read: Skip the first few lines of the input file. Note that in table files, the header row is considered as the first row.

    Details

    Note that you must in all cases explicitly define the number of the columns that will be selected to the result table.

    Output

    Output is a table file.
