How to export STAR alignment output files

Question

[salehm]

Hi all,

I just ran STAR alignment for 55 RNA seq samples, the STAR alignment info (#input reads, #mapped reads, %uniquely mapped reads) are all in a .final.out file for each sample. I need to record these data in an excel sheet which also includes other metadata for these samples, so I can use it as annotation file for DSeq2 analyses.

I am wondering if there is an easy way to export these data in a combined .txt file or something make it easy to import these data to the annotation file.

Thank you so much for your help
