SB Delete records

--delete_records, -dr

Description

Delete all sequences with IDs matching regular expression patterns. The remaining sequences are returned along with a list of IDs for the deleted sequences (the IDs are sent to stderr).

Arguments

Pattern [pattern ...] ( regex )

One or more strings or regular expressions. To avoid issues with special characters, make a habit of adding 'single quotes' around the search term.

File path ( path ) (Available in V 1.3)

Optional. If searching for many different records, it can be easier to put the search terms in a separate file. Put each term on it's own line, but remember that SeqBuddy is searching for regular expressions! If you are looking for exact ID matches, it is good practice to include the '^' and '$' operator on each term (e.g., ^id_1234$).

Columns ( int )

Optional. The list of deleted IDs sent to stderr will be output as a single column by default. An integer passed in as the FINAL argument will change the number of output columns. If you need to search with something that could be interpreted as an integer, make it an explicit regex (e.g., sb foo.fa -dr "foo|bar" "(4563)").

Modifier

--quiet/-q

Suppress the stderr list of deleted IDs.
