agat_sp_select_feature_by_attribute_value.pl

DESCRIPTION

The script aims to filter features according to attribute value (9th column). If the attribute tag is missing the feature will not be discarded. If the attribute exists and the value pass the test, the feature is discarded. Attribute are stored in the 9th column and have this shape: tag=value /!\ Removing a level1 or level2 feature will automatically remove all linked subfeatures, and removing all children of a feature will automatically remove this feature too.
