You can just use standard command line tools:

awk 'BEGIN{OFS="\t"}{if(NR>3) {if($9=="C"){strand="-"}else{strand="+"};print $5,$6-1,$7,$10,".",strand}}' chrX.fa.out > chrX.bed

You can use column 11 too if you want the family name in the file.

  1. converting two RepeatMasker to bed using rmsk2bed

  2. use bedtools intersect

  3. converting final bed to .out (i have no script or program to do it)

Hi,

Why do you increase the start position by using $6-1? Is there a specific reason?
