Thank you very much zwon! Your script work just fine for me. I've made some changes to the code so that I can define what is the input file. But I'm not sure whether this is the correct way of doing it or not. Thank you for showing me how the regex work to match certain text i want. Thank you
my ($frg) = @ARGV; $frgfile = "$frg"; open(frgfile) or die("Unable to open FRG file"); while(<frgfile>) { if (/^{FRG/../^}/){ if (/^acc:(\d+)/) { print ">$1\n"; } elsif ( /^seq:/ ) { while(<frgfile>) { last if /^\./; print; } } } }
