splitFileByColumn source outDir
Manual
This tool is part of UCSC Genome Browser's utilities.
options:
-col=N- Use the Nth column value (default: N=1, first column)
-head=file - Put head in front of each output
-tail=file - Put tail at end of each output
-chromDirs - Split into subdirs of outDir that are distilled from chrom
names, e.g. chr3_random -> outDir/3/chr3_random.XXX .
-ending=XXX - Use XXX as the dot-suffix of split files (default: taken
from source).
-tab - Split by tab characters instead of whitespace.
Split source into multiple files in outDir, with each filename determined
by values from a column of whitespace-separated input in source.
If source begins with a header, you should pipe "tail +N source" to this
program where N is number of header lines plus 1, or use some similar
method to strip the header from the input.
