Have you created a file format configuration for the files you are using? This is done in Administrate -> Plug-ins & Extensions -> Plug-in configurations. Create a new configuration for the 'Raw data importer' plug-in and use the 'Test with file' function to get regular expressions, etc. correct. > Anyway that's all the time I can give to this problem until later > this week.

We have recently set up a new BASE installation for a project here and I guess we have spent several months just setting up lab procedures, data import procedures, and also made some customizations to BASE in order to further streamline the data entry. We don't have an explicit goal to get more users. We are primarily using BASE at our own site to solve our own "problems". The Illumina extension package is an example of that. Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to develop things targeted for other platforms than what we are using ourselves. This doesn't mean that BASE can't be used with other platforms, but in order to get the most out of BASE one need to invest time and maybe also resources for customization. In may experience at least a week would be needed for initial testing and prototyping and then maybe a couple of months for setting up a production-ready server, formalizing lab and data handling procedures, developing custom plug-ins and extensions, etc. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
