NEWB Q: Can beagle-query read search terms from a file?

I just started using beagle-query and I was wondering if you can send beagle-query a text file full of keywords to search on versus using the command line.

e.g.  beagle-query -f search_term_file

kind of like

grep -f filename *

instead of beagle-query keyword1 or keyword2 or keyword3
Thanks,

Bob

No. Nothing like that can be currently done with beagle-query.
However, you should be able to do some xargs trick to generate a large
OR query from such a string and send it to beagle-query.
