+**What it does**
+
+This tool counts the length of each fasta sequence in the file. The output file has two columns per line (separated by tab): fasta titles and lengths of the sequences. The option *How many characters to keep?* allows to select a specified number of letters from the beginning of each FASTA entry. 
+
+-----	
+
+**Example**
+
+Suppose you have the following FASTA formatted sequences from a Roche (454) FLX sequencing run::
+
+    &gt;EYKX4VC02EQLO5 length=108 xy=1826_0455 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
    TCCGCGCCGAGCATGCCCATCTTGGATTCCGGCGCGATGACCATCGCCCGCTCCACCACG
    TTCGGCCGGCCCTTCTCGTCGAGGAATGACACCAGCGCTTCGCCCACG
    &gt;EYKX4VC02D4GS2 length=60 xy=1573_3972 region=2 run=R_2007_11_07_16_15_57_
    AATAAAACTAAATCAGCAAAGACTGGCAAATACTCACAGGCTTATACAATACAAATGTAAfa
+
+Running this tool while setting **How many characters to keep?** to **14** will produce this::
+	
+	EYKX4VC02EQLO5  108
+	EYKX4VC02D4GS2	 60
