Hi Jim..
Great to be back on jalview discuss. Am looking at a lot of alignments
these days and loving the new features in Jalview ( esp the super easy map
to structure , secondary structure predicition etc)

Thanks for speedy reply. I was able to get the column residue positions
..by a two step process following your hint
1) Creating a feature by selecting the columns containing the start and
stop boundaries--Selection(rigthclick )- Create sequence feature
2) Then ..going to File in main menu and outputting the feature to a file.
3) That file then contains a csv of feature name and start and stop
boundaries

I have another question about Selection output to a FASTA file. In earlier
versions the selection would have the start and stop residues of the
selection annotated in the fasta file..and not start and stop of the whole
sequence: any ideas how to get the old style output. Since this is a
separate issue I will ask a separate question here..

Thanks again
Hari
