  <help>
This tool retains lines of an  input tabular file that have a column value matching any of the values in the "names" file. This is useful for example to 
report only a subset of an HGVS or BED file corresponding to a set of genes of interest. The names file should have one name per line. If you are looking to
only match one name, it might be just as easy to use the generic Galaxy tool "Select lines that match an expression".
