Hi,
I am running a local blast and save my output using -6 format (tabular). For one hit the result is displayed fine, however for more than one hit, for example when I have two hits, the second result gets appended right at end of the first result (one the same line), I would expect each hit to be on a separate line. How do I get each hit to start on a new line?
Thanks!
Interesting problem! Could you maybe give us details on your OS and the text viewer you're using please? Thank you!
Thanks from your question, I figured out that the reason was a text viewer. I was viewing it using notepad, I don't know why in notepad it concatenates the lines. Thanks!
Notepad in Windows uses CRLF (\r\n) as the line separator. BLAST might be outputting lines split with just LF for same hits and with CRLF or LFLF for new hits.
I see....Thanks!
Notepad++ and TextPad are good text editors for Windows.
