✨ TEXTSEARCH(1e) — bestie's guide to searching sequence descriptions ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the EMBOSS Manual for Debian, and it's giving very "let me find the thing you're looking for in a pile of text" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

textsearch — search the textual description of sequence(s). yes, literally just that. she does one thing and she does it flawlessly. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

           [-html boolean] -only boolean -heading boolean -usa boolean
           -accession boolean -name boolean -description boolean
           -outfile outfile

textsearch -help

like, look at that second line. -help. she's helpful AND pretty. we love a well-rounded icon 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

textsearch is a command line program from EMBOSS — that's “the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite” if you're new here, welcome to the group chat 💖

she hangs out in the "Data retrieval:Text data" command group(s), which is exactly the vibe you'd expect. she goes through the textual description of your sequence(s) and hunts down your pattern. no cap. 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🍓 Input section

  • -sequence seqall — this is the sequence input, bestie. hand her the seqall and she'll do her thing. 🌈

💜 Required section

  • -pattern string — okay so the search pattern here is a regular expression. use a | to indicate OR. for example: human|mouse will find text with either 'human' OR 'mouse' in the text. it's giving "either/or, choose your fighter" 😭 this one is required, so don't come empty-handed.

🧚 Additional section

  • -casesensitive boolean — default value: N. so by default she's not gonna be picky about your capital letters. lowercase queen behavior. 🙈

👑 Output section

  • -html boolean — default value: N.
  • -only boolean — this is a way of shortening the command line if you only want a few things to be displayed. instead of specifying: '-nohead -noname -nousa -noacc -nodesc' to get only the name output, you can specify '-only -name'. default value: N. she's efficient. she's lowkey saving you keystrokes. main character energy fr fr. ⭐
  • -heading boolean — default value: @(!$(only)).
  • -usa boolean — default value: @(!$(only)).
  • -accession boolean — default value: @(!$(only)).
  • -name boolean — default value: @(!$(only)).
  • -description boolean — default value: @(!$(only)).
  • -outfile outfile — where the output goes. tell her where to drop the goods. 🎀
and yes, those @(!$(only)) defaults are literally exactly what the page says — don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 💀
