OK, thanks guys.

I checked and indeed I had not installed BioPerl. However, even after installing it the output is unchanged: I get files with the headers I would be expecting to get based on the associated publication, but no content under the headers.

About the Excel-corrupted file: I have made a fixed version. I will never understand why Microsoft does not want to fix this. It's so annoying when protein Sep7 randomly turns into September 7!

    Hi monks,

    Sorry to bother you guys again but my issue hasn't been resolved. I have checked and while all the necessary packages are now installed, the script still only produces empty headers as output. I have tried contacting the script maker but since it dates from 2007 he may not reply. Any idea why the script is failing?

      I very briefly looked at this script, and don't remember liking what I saw (not a lot of error checking going on). I also don't have any input to test this with. I can only suggest you debug this script if you want to use it. Failing that perhaps there is something in BioPerl which does the same thing this script is supposed to.
