bp_dbsplit

BP_DBSPLIT(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    BP_DBSPLIT(1p)

NAME

       dbsplit - script to split an input set of database(s) into smaller pieces

SYNOPSIS

	 dbsplit.PLS --size 50 [-i inputfile] [-if inputformat] [-of outputformat]
		     [--prefix outputprefix] [ < file1 file 2  OR file1 file2]

DESCRIPTION

       This script will take as input a list of filenames or a single file or from STDIN a sequence database and split the database into separate
       files of X numbers of sequences.  You specify X with the "--size/-s" parameter.	The input and output sequence format is any that is
       supported by bioperl (fasta,embl,genbank,gcg, swissprot, etc).

       You can specify the input data either as a single file with -i filename, or as a single file as an argument like

	 % dbsplit file1 file2

       or as a list of sequence data with

	 % cat file1 file2 file3 | dbsplit

       You'll want to use the "--prefix" to specify what the output prefix will be.
