Perhaps you should consider writing a parser for this format - always a good idea if you're going to be dealing with it on a regular basis. Example:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
open my $Gpff, '<', 'protein.gpff' or die "protein.gpff: $!\n";
my ($key, %data);
while (<$Gpff>){
chomp;
if (/^(?:\s\s)?([A-Z]+)\s+(.*)$/){
$key = $1;
$data{$key} = $2;
}
else {
s/^\s+/ /;
$data{$key} .= $_;
}
}
close $Gpff;
Given the above, you can now easily extract the data that you want by its label; that is, printing $data{SOURCE} will output "mitochondrion Ephydatia muelleri". You may need to adjust the parser to suit your exact application, but this should give you a good start.
