Export Instrument Method name in Metadata output

baezaj opened this issue a year ago · 4 comments

Hi All,

I was hoping to extract the Instrument Method file name from the Sample Information section in a raw file. It seems like this feature is supported. see image

However, when I look in the metadata file, the Instument Method file isn't listed.

I am using v1.4.2 with the following arguments:
"C:\Path\to\ThermoRawFileParser.exe" -i="C:\Path\to\RawFile.raw" -f=1 -m=1

Hi @baezaj,
thank you for using ThermoRawFileParser.
Output of the instrument method filename to metadata was added only in version 1.4.3.

Thank you so much. that was an easy fix. I've been looking for this feature for quite some time, so I'm happy to see it here.
Is there a way to output only the metadata file (not the mzML file)? Am also happy to submit a new issue.
Thanks

Yes. It is possible to specify output file format (-f, --format) as none (case insensitive) or 4.
