[Vcftools-help] vcf-compare

[Dr O. O. <oo...@ca...>]

Hi,

I compared 4 vcf files using 'vcf-compare' and got some output 
(attached). My question is how to actually extract some parts of the 
output using for example: "`grep ^VN | cut -f 2-` to extract this part". 
I have tried grep ^VN | cut -f 2- at the command prompt, and then it 
just hangs. I would be happy if I could get a clearer understanding of 
the usage of the extraction command.

Thanks

Olu
