k, fine. to be very clear, i didnt want to confuse you all with my whole program,the ones which you said as UNUSED VALUES are not unused values, but i will be using it while printing the results later.so all i want to process now is the SEQUENCE. that is the string(a continous stretch of alphabets)which is next to the accessions line. so when i grep it and store it in a seperate array, and when i print the array (inside the loop) i am getting the output something like this
