I have a data that is several columns. Below is data from the column I want to modify.

ENSGALT00000021664.5_up_1000_chr1_67101124_f

ENSGALT00000010596.3_up_1000_chr1_8309340_f

ENSGALT00000015976.4_up_1000_chr1_33439188_f

I'd like to modify every row of the column to remove everything starting from the first underscore. So the result should be:

ENSGALT00000021664.5

ENSGALT00000010596.3

ENSGALT00000015976.4

I have not been able to figure out how to do this in Galaxy. Please let me know if there is a tool for this within Galaxy. Thank you.

You could use Replace Text in entire line and replace _ with \t and then the cut tool, to extract the first column.

I used Replace Text in a specific column (instead of entire line) and the cut tool but it did what I wanted so thank you!
