( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I have a file that looks like this
>SEQ1 -----I--RL--AAIDVDG-NLT----------D--R--D-RL-ISTKA-IESIRS--A- -E-K--------K-GLT-VSL----LS------GN-V----I-PVV---YA-L------K IF---------------L-----GINGPVF------------------------------ >SEQ2 -MKI----KA--ISIDIDG-TIT------YPN-R-------MIHEK--A-LEAIRR--A- -E-S--------L-GIP-IML----VT------GN-T----V-QFA---EA-A------S IL---------------I-----G----TS-----------------GP-VV-------- >SEQ3 --KI----KA--ISIDIDG-TIT------YPN-R-------MIHEK--A-LEAIRR--A- -E-S--------L-GIP-IML----VT------GN-T----V-QFA---EA-A------S IL---------------I-----G----TS-----------------GP-VV-------- ---AE--D------GG---A---------------------------------------I
The lines starting with '>' are the headers and the series of letters and dashes underneath each header is the 'sequence' associated with that header. I would like to split this data so that the header is one element in the array and the sequence data underneath is in another so - for example
element[0] = >SEQ1 element[1] = -----I--RL--AAIDVDG-NLT----------D--R--D-RL-ISTKA-IESIRS- +-A- -E-K--------K-GLT-VSL----LS------GN-V----I-PVV---YA-L------K IF---------------L-----GINGPVF------------------------------
On first sight, it seems a fairly easy split operation, and I thought initially I could just split on new line, but I cant due to the sequence data occurring over several lines in the file. Any advise/thoughts on how I might be able to do this much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
