Outformat support for EMBL-EBI RADAR (Rapid Automatic Detection and Alignment of Repeats in protein sequences)

Question

[fg17470]

I've been using RADAR on EMBL's web service through the command line with the rest API. The documentation (below) suggests I should be able to output the results as a CSV but I have no example of the acceptable syntax for this. I've tried --outformat csv/.csv/outfile name.csv.

Any help on this would be amazing! Thanks

Did you try --outformat csv --outfile output_file.csv?

Gave it a go just now. Same story. The job appears to execute and finishes, but it does not create the output fie.

Anything printed to STDOUT/STDERR? Also, can you give us a reproducible example with the full command and sample input please?
