Dear Masters,
I have the following dataset, where each DNA (ACGT) string has its corresponding value. The values comes in group and TAB separated. Given the length K string, there will be K group. Each group contain 4 values, which correspond to A,C,G,T respectively. 
AGAC  <TAB>  9 -29 -39 -37 <TAB>  27 -28 -39 -37 <TAB>  26 -27 -39 -37
+ <TAB> 27 -27 -39 12

What I want to do is to extract the corresponding base value of the given DNA string. Hence with the given string above the desired output is: 
$VAR = [9,-39, 26, -27];

Note that tag length may be greater than four (up to 100 bp). Is there a fast way to achieve this? For there are millions of such lines.
