I'm assuming you mean "in galaxy", right? If so, check out the entries in 'Text Manipulation'. Using 'select first' and 'select last' you can turn one dataset into two datasets each half the size. If instead you mean on the Unix command line, use the tool 'split' or 'head' and 'tail'. -- Ry4an Brase 612-626-6575 Software Developer Application Development University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute http://www.msi.umn.edu ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
