Using txt file as a parameter for text input field

1

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to use a .txt file as input parameter for instrument which accepts text field parameter. I want to use this option in a workflow: 1) get user’s simple text input, 2) process this text with some instruments, 3) use the processed text as input parameter for the text field of other instrument. Can I do that?

Hi @Alex_Shap

Yes. Please see the functionality described in the tutorial below for the options.

Thank you! Now I cannot find the instrument “Parse parameter value” anywhere including Galaxy repositories. Could you help with this?

Are you looking for a text manipulation tool?

Many of the common utilities are explained here. More are in the tool panel and tend to have a similar name as the command-line that do the same. Data Manipulation Olympics
