Comet parameter: pinfile_protein_delimiter

• In the Percolator pin output format, the default delimiter for the protein field is a tab. This makes parsing that file difficult because tabs are also the delimiter between fields.
• This parameter allows one to specify a different character or string for the protein column delimiter.
• If this parameter is left blank or is missing, the default tab delimiter is used.

Example:

pinfile_protein_delimiter = :::       # use ::: as the delimiter between protein accessions
pinfile_protein_delimiter = ,         # use a comma as the delimiter between protein accessions
pinfile_protein_delimiter = ;         # use a semicolon as the delimiter between protein accessions
pinfile_protein_delimiter = xoxox     # use the string xoxox as the delimiter between protein accessions
