  • Splitting a bed file in multiple bed files by track

    Hi

    I have a large combined bed files with several tracks (peaks called for several experiments) of the form

    track name="track name 1" description="description1" visibility=2
    chr1 1580180 1580696 3 12
    chr1 1645419 1645941 4 19
    chr1 1700177 1700614 5 10
    ...
    track name="track name 2" description="description1" visibility=2
    chr1...
    chr2...
    chrX


    etc

    is there a quick way to split this file into multiple beds (one for eack track)?

    Thanks a lot for your help

    See if this works.

    Code:
    awk '/^track/{x="[COLOR="Red"]Track[/COLOR]"++i".bed";}{print > x;}' your_bed_file
    This should produce multiple files (one for each track) with names like "Track1.bed Track2.bed" etc. Modify the word highlighted in red to get corresponding file names.
