I suspect the problem is trailing whitespace (carriage returns, line feeds, spaces etc) on your sequences `# Remove comment line(s) $para =~ s/^\s#.//mg; # Trim trailing white space $para =~ s/\s+$//; # add this ..` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, That fixed the issue. Thank you so much. I have a related question. Is there a way to remove all the duplicate entries and/or replace them with a newline character? Duplicates are skewing my data. Also, there are some entries which have incomplete sequences and have the word "(Fragments)" in the header. Can you suggest a way to delete all those entries with the word (Fragment) in their header? Thanks again for all your help Poj. I will be presenting this data at a conference in Winnipeg next month. I would be happy to acknowledge your help in this work. Please let me know if you want me to do that.	[reply]
