All quoted strings accept certain “escape codes.” These escape codes indicate that SeqNinja should put a tab, a new line, a quotation mark, etc. in the specified location:
| Escape Code | Effect |
|---|---|
^t |
Inserts a tab. |
^n |
Inserts a line break. |
^^ |
Inserts a caret character (^). |
^' |
Inserts a single quote into a string that is bracketed by single quotes. |
^" |
Inserts a double quote into a string that is bracketed by double quotes. |
Example input:

print( 'sequence file name:^t', 'contig01.fas^n', 'sequence length:^t', length("contig01.fas"), '^n', 'sequence', '^n', "contig01.fas" )
