Help:how to extrcate information from the output file of Novoalign mapping tools

[qc.share]

Hello, Everyone,
I want to extrcate some information from the output file of NonoAlign mapping tool, the output file format is FASTQ format, it likes this:
@HWUSI-EAS1522 100625:1:1:1290:9446 # 0/1
CGTCTCGTCTCGTCTCGTCTCGTCTCGTCTCGTCTA
################################ QC

I have 2 questions:
*The first question is what's the detail meaning of number in the first line (HWUSI-EAS1522 100625:1:1:1290:9446 # 0/1)?

* The other question is how can I get the tab-separated files without headers containing four coulumns( 1 chr of reads; 2 the start position of the mapped read; 3 the stop position of the mapped read; 4 the strand information) which were extrcated from the output files of NovoAlign mapping tools.

Thank you very much!

the output file format is FASTQ format

Are you sure this is not the input format? I've never used Novoalign, but when mapping you normally use fastq as input and SAM/BAM as output (as is stated on the novoalign website as well...) A SAM/BAM holds mapping information such as your requested parameters, the fastq obviously doesn't.

what's the detail meaning of number in the first line

This is information about the the generated read such as machine, run, flowcell, lane, tile and paired-end/single-end.

how can I get the tab-separated files without headers containing four coulumns

SAM output will contain such information.
