Hi All,

I seem to be having an issue with getting my output in excel format. I am 
currently using TPP 4.6.2 on a linux cluster with CentOS.

I generated my output.xml file using xinteract (running protein prophet as 
part of this command). The resulting output.prot.xml file from xinteract 
contains all the information I am interested in, including XPRESS ratios. 
However, I now want to take my result file elsewhere to do some analysis, 
such as R. To do this I would like to run some perl scripts on it, but 
parsing an XML file with perl is a bit tedious. As such, I would like to 
have it in Excel format so I can get the tab or comma delimited versions.

I have tried to get the excel file using two options. This first is using 
the 'protxml2html.pl' script and passing it the excel option. It seems the 
XPRESS ratios are lost during this conversion. The html version doing this 
also does not contain the XPRESS ratios.

The second option is to re-run protein prophet on the resulting 
interact.xml file and pass it the XPRESS option. It seems to work ok, but 
when it gets to XPRESS, and says 'importing XPRESS ratios', it completes 
almost instantly, and doesn't write the ratios to the file...otherwise the 
file is ok. 

I am working on a cluster purely through command line, so a fix that is 
based on this is desirable. 

Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

Regards,
Chris
