One good place to start for common tasks is to look in the Local Java 
Widgets (in 1.7.1) or Localworker (in 2.0).  The best documentation is 
probably that for 2.0 see 
http://www.taverna.org.uk/taverna-2-0/taverna-2-0-documentation/taverna-2-0-help/overview/design-perspective/activity-palette/local-worker-activity-definition/
(apologies for the long URL)

There are also lots of examples in the pack on myExperiment:

To open a file use the "Read Text File" local worker.

I'd then feed the text file into a "Split string into string list by 
regular expression" with newline as the regular expression


> + 'cut' the 'Xth' column containing the SNPs

Then you can feed the result of that into "Filter list of strings 
extracting match to a regex" to get the Xth column of the lines

I don't know, sorry.

Use the "Write text file" local worker.

The local workers can be very useful.

To find other services, you can use a service registry like SeekDA at 
http://www.seekda.com , the EMBRACE registry at 
http://www.embraceregistry.net/ or the soon-to-arrive 
http://www.biocatalogue.org

If you are using Taverna 1.7.1 then you can search for services in the 
Feta registry once you have downloaded the Feta plugin.  Select under 
Tools -> Plugin manager.  Click "Find new updates" and you should see 
the Feta plugin.  Tick it and install.  You may need to restart Taverna. 
  After that you can find services by Clicking the "Discover" tab.  It 
takes some time to start up initially.
