Dear Monks, I'd like to read in this file format below. The first word in each line is the Operon name, and the words followed by | are the genes contained within that operon. I want to make a hash table with operons pointing to a list of genes it contains. I'd then like to store this, and print it out. Please could you help me with this. Yours, Chrisantha Birmingham, UK
