IDRipper splits the protein/peptide identifications of an idXML file into several idXML files according their annotated file origin.

Example

Assuming each peptide identification in a given idXML file is annotated with its file origin (e.g. IDRipper_test.idXML) :

<userParam type="string" name="file_origin" value="IDMerger1_test.idXML"/> or
<userParam type="string" name="file_origin" value="IDMerger2_test.idXML"/>

Obviously the file contains protein/peptide identifications of IDMerger1_test.idXML and IDMerger2_test.idXML.

Calling IDRipper with an input file (here: -in IDRipper_test.idXML) and an output directory (via out) will result in two idXML files stored in the specified directory and named according to their file origin.

In theory, merging files with IDMerger and splitting the resulting file with IDRipper will result in the original input files.

NOTE: The meta value "file_origin" is removed by the IDSplitter!

Note: Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

Usage:
  IDRipper <options>

Options (mandatory options marked with '*'):
  -in <file>*          Input file, in which the protein/peptide identifications must be tagged with 'file_ori
                       gin' (valid formats: 'idXML')
  -out <directory>*    Path to the output directory to write the ripped files to.
  -numeric_filenames   Do not infer output filenames from spectra_data or file_origin but use the input filen
                       ame with numeric suffixes.
  -split_ident_runs    Split different identification runs into separate files.
                       
Common TOPP options:
  -ini <file>          Use the given TOPP INI file
  -threads <n>         Sets the number of threads allowed to be used by the TOPP tool (default: '1')
  -write_ini <file>    Writes the default configuration file
  --help               Shows options
  --helphelp           Shows all options (including advanced)
