Hi Jasper,
Bjorn is correct, using the Text manipulation tools is usually the best
way to edit files. But along with that, there is also a way to add in
content. Using the tool "Get Data -> Upload File" you can just
type/paste in content in the box and it will upload as a file. Spaces
can be converted to tabs if you want.
Sometimes this is useful for adding a line to the start of a file. It
can be used to add a column of data, but only if your file is not very
large (not too many rows). The general idea is that you can load in the
extra data, then add it to other files using "Concatenate" or "Paste" or
even "Join" if there is a common fields. Then you can use "Cut" to
select columns/rearrange the data.
Good luck and do join us on Biostar!

Hello,
I am generating files but sometimes I want to add something to the text file
generated. I would like to do this within galaxy instead of downloading,
modifying, uploading the file.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
jasper
