ok.Here is another thought fragment: I don't like ....let me think how this is called.... ah yes .. i don't like Mr Clever guys. this is what i absolutely hate in the scientific field. i just need to know if it is any way to extract the information of $treeout to a file.thats all. ps check my exp

:)

A: yada yada

B: What are you talking about, show code?

A: yada yada left

B: So what are you talking about, show code?

A: I just need help smartass

B: I DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE ASKING, SHOW CODE?

I think you need to create the $treeout object with -file first so that it uses it as the stream for the write_tree method

my $outfile = 'C:\Users\AnyUser\Desktop\outree.tre';
my $treeout = Bio::TreeIO->new(
    -format => 'newick', 
    -file   => ">$outfile" );

while( my $aln = $alnio->next_aln ) 
{
  my $mat = $stats->distance(-method => 'Kimura',
                            -align  => $aln);
  my $tree = $dfactory->make_tree($mat);
  $treeout->write_tree($tree);
}
exit;
