Standard (Mandatory) qualifiers: [-sequence] seqset (Aligned) sequence set filename and optional format, or reference (input USA) -regions range [Whole sequence] Regions to extract. A set of regions is specified by a set of pairs of positions. The positions are integers. They are separated by any non-digit, non-alpha character. Examples of region specifications are: 24-45, 56-78 1:45, 67=99;765..888 1,5,8,10,23,45,57,99 [-outseq] seqoutall [ |

You can specifiy a file of ranges to extract by giving the '-regions' qualifier the value '@' followed by the name of the file containing the ranges. (eg: '-regions @myfile').
The format of the range file is:
An example range file is:
# this is my set of ranges 12 23 4 5 this is like 12-23, but smaller 67 10348 interesting region
>MSFM1 GTACGTACGTACGTACGTAC >MSFM2 GTACGTACGT----ACGTAC >MSFM3 GTACGTACGTACGTACGTAC |
If the option '-separate' is used then each specified region is written to the output file as a separate sequence. The name of the sequence is created from the name of the original sequence with the start and end positions of the range appended with underscore characters between them,
For example: "XYZ region 2 to 34" is written as: "XYZ_2_34"
