Hi ! 

Anyone know some linux commands that can be used to parse through the output coords table of [MUMmer][1]? It has the following output format:

        [S1]     [E1]  |     [S2]     [E2]  |  [LEN 1]  [LEN 2]  |  [% IDY]  | [TAGS]
    =====================================================================================
       28536    30543  |     2008        1  |     2008     2008  |    89.71  | 3583	1233
        6306     6469  |      972      808  |      164      165  |    92.73  | 3585	1364
        6653     7101  |      455        4  |      449      452  |    84.31  | 3585	1364

All I need is the average of the % IDY column but have not been able to get this via linux commands. I also tried converting to an easier format such as txt but that also did not work. 

Any ideas?
Thank you!

as it looks your output is a set of fixed-length columns, you'd better try with something like:

    cut -c 63-70
