[VoxBo] spike-finder tool

[Daniel Drucker]

I find vbqa to be somewhat overkill for when I just want to find my
spikes - not to mention its annoying habit of concatenating smoothed
and unsmoothed global signals into one long vector.

I present a little utility that does the job: /home/ddrucker/bin/spikes

It takes as input on the command line a list of GS (global signal)
files to examine - be sure to give it only the ones you want, and I
recommend using wildcards so that they'll automatically appear in the
correct order.

As output, you get a completed spikes stanza.

Example:

[ddrucker at falx] Y120906C> ls
Anatomy  Models  Y120906C_01  Y120906C_02  Y120906C_03  Y120906C_04  Y120906C_05

[ddrucker at falx] Y120906C> spikes */s*GS.ref
newcov spike "48,637,638,639"
  type n
end

[ddrucker at falx] Y120906C>


And that's all there is to it. Hopefully someone finds this useful.
