my $types_OPEN = [ ['SFF files', '.sff'],
                   ['All Files',   '*'],];



sub open_file {my $open = $mw->getOpenFile(-filetypes => $types_OPEN,
                              -defaultextension => '.sff');

                     $read_fh = IO::File->new("$open",'r');

}
                 
sub read_text

{  my @lines;
