Dear All,
 
My question seems not to be fit for the mail list, however, I really need your help. Crouching tigers and Hidden dragons are There!
 
Now ,I have the file format including 10 headers(gene, name, description, arry1,array2...array7)
Gene Name Descriptin Array 1 Array 2 Array 3 Array 4 Array 5 Array 6 Array 7
Gene 1 Name 1  Description 1   0.2 -0.1 -1.1 0.4 -4 -2 0.2
Gene 2 Name 2  Description 2   2.3 2.1 -3 1.1 1.2 -1.6 0.1
Gene 3 Name 3  Description 3   0.1 1.6 1.2 1.5 2.7 0.4 -0.4
Gene 4 Name 4  Description 4   0.3 -1.5 -1.7 0.2 0.4 2 -2.1
Gene 5 Name 5  Description 5   1.7 2.3 2.3 2.3 3 -2 2.1
Gene 6 Name 6  Description 6   0.2 4 4 4 0.2 -3 -4
Gene 7 Name 7  Description 7   -0.3 1.5 1.5 1.5 -0.2 1.7 3
Gene 8 Name 8  Description 8   1.4 -0.6 -1.1 -0.3 -3 -3 1.4
 
I want to get the following file format:
 

Gene	Name	Array 1	Array 2	Array 3	Array 4	Array 5	Array 6	Array 7Gene 1	Name 1 - Description 1	0.2	-0.1	-1.1	0.4	-4	-2	0.2Gene 2	Name 2 - Description 2	2.3	2.1	-3	1.1	1.2	-1.6	0.1Gene 3	Name 3 - Description 3	0.1	1.6	1.2	1.5	2.7	0.4	-0.4Gene 4	Name 4 - Description 4	0.3	-1.5	-1.7	0.2	0.4	2	-2.1Gene 5	Name 5 - Description 5	1.7	2.3	2.3	2.3	3	-2	2.1Gene 6	Name 6 - Description 6	0.2	4	4	4	0.2	-3	-4Gene 7	Name 7 - Description 7	-0.3	1.5	1.5	1.5	-0.2	1.7	3Gene 8	Name 8 - Description 8	1.4	-0.6	-1.1	-0.3	-3	-3	1.4

in the above file format,The first row is a header row, where the names of the 

arrays/experiments are specified from column 3 and on. The second row and on specify 

expression data for each gene, where the first column is the unique identifier of each gene, 

the second column specifies the name and the description of the gene, where the name 

and description are separated by " - " (the surrounding spaces are important), and column 3 

and on specify the expression data for the gene across all experiments.

thanks much for your help in advance

Any suggestions and advice will be much appreicated.



Best Regards
