Re^2: Perl regex

1.Create a full, detailed specification of the problem : There is a ton of superfluous information in this file.

a. File has multiple close relatives for a gene of interest. I only ne
+ed one close relative in the output file.
b. Some lines have a repeat of same sequence. For example: Metac1_3189
+(Metac1_3189) I want to exclude these from output file
b. File has parentheses which I want to exclude from output file
c. Close relative and gene of interest are not separated into two dist
+inct columns. I want to include these in output file.

Great, so now you have a full, detailed spec (or so we think). On to step 2 -> create an algorithm to match the spec.	[reply]
