[MUMmer-help] Formatting for multiple queries

[Dr. M. S. <m....@gm...>]

Hello,

Most of the time I was using NUCMER with just one reference and query. Now, for the first time I would like to add some queries to my NUCMER run. Could someone please add an example as how to format such an analysis when using NUCMER? I tried different things, relying on my knowledge on how to separate multiple strings in PERL, but all I got was an error message 

"USAGE: nucmer  [options]  <Reference>  <Query>
    
Try '/home/stylo/MUMmer3.22/nucmer -h' for more information."

The tutorial states, that it is possible to do analyses of multiple references and queries but all the examples are for one reference and query. So, how do I add a second and a third (...) query to my NUCMER run? I tried brackets around my queries, [,] and [.] with or without whitespaces. What am I doing wrong?

Sincerly,
Martin
