kbase_ids_to_external_ids

Given a set of KBase identifiers, look up the associated external identifiers.

Example:

kbase_ids_to_external_ids  < input > output

The standard input should be a tab-separated table (i.e., each line is a tab-separated set of fields). Normally, the last field in each line would contain the identifer. If another column contains the identifier use

-c N

where N is the column (from 1) that contains the identifier.

This is a pipe command. The input is taken from the standard input, and the output is to the standard output.

Command-Line Options

-c Column

This is used only if the column containing the identifier is not the last column.

-i InputFile

Read data from InputFile instead of from the standard input.

Output Format

The standard output is a tab-delimited file. It consists of the input file with extra columns added.

Input lines that cannot be extended are written to stderr.
