Thanks toolic :)

I have one more question, I just remembered actually that the first entry in my file, namely FOLDING, is made up from two variables, as in I have assigned it to two variables, $pattern and $match, used as $pattern$match. I know it looks weird but I needed to do it that way.

So if in a different file my FOLDING pattern is "W" and matches a lipid, I would have an entry as "Wlipid". Hopefully that makes sense?

So my question is how do I match this now? Do I just match is as my ($w$x, $y, $z) ? Or it makes no sense?
