I need a simple text editor to work with some files that i have to manually analyze before putting them into my program. however i would like to be able to manually change the background color and font color of the text i’m working with; to make it easier to see where i have already been.
i’m working with files akin to this one:
#sequence identifier exp_freq occ exp_occ occ_P occ_E occ_sig rank ovl_occ forbocc
ttcttgtt ttcttgtt 0.0000219976814 28 3.97 4.3e-15 2.4e-10 9.61 1 0 196
tcttgttt tcttgttt 0.0000210107885 21 3.80 7.8e-10 4.4e-05 4.36 2 0 147
tttttata tttttata 0.0000121341839 16 2.19 1.7e-09 9.8e-05 4.01 3 0 112
ttcttgct ttcttgct 0.0000144367046 17 2.61 2.9e-09 1.6e-04 3.79 4 0 119
gttttttt gttttttt 0.0000167341636 18 3.02 4e-09 2.3e-04 3.64 5 0 126
cttgtttt cttgtttt 0.0000193716955 19 3.50 6.5e-09 3.7e-04 3.43 6 0 133
ttttttta ttttttta 0.0000101585213 14 1.84 1e-08 5.8e-04 3.24 7 0 98
the aim is to identify sequences that have some feature in common and then group them together, but its really a strain to do it without some sort of marking to sign which sequence belong in which group. i really don’t want to use excel, much more comfortable with text editors for this stuff.
what would be best?
emacs has highlight by regexp.
