The following seems to do it for me...
outfile = file('out.txt', 'w')
for line in file('in.txt'):
if '/GEN' in line and '/gb:' in line:
newline = []
for index, item in enumerate(line.split()):
if index == 0 or item.startswith('/GEN')
or item.startswith('/gb:'):
newline.append(item)
outfile.write('\t'.join(newline))
outfile.write('\n')
outfile.close()
There are some underdefined conditions...I presume that both the
GEN and gb: have to appear in the line. If only one of them is
required, change the "and" to an "or".
