IDExtractor

Extracts 'n' peptides randomly or best 'n' from idXML files.

Input and output format are 'idXML'. The tools allows you to extract subsets of peptides from idXML files.

Note
Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*                        Input file (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -out <file>*                       Output file (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -number_of_peptides <int>          Number of randomly chosen peptides (default: '10') (min: '1')

  -best_hits                         If this flag is set the best n peptides are chosen.
                                     
Common UTIL options:
  -ini <file>                        Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>                       Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default:
                                      '1')
  -write_ini <file>                  Writes the default configuration file
