Well actually what i want is in this format:

Q8K9W0 | name |PF10417.4/ PF10425.1

the name is in a third file that also has the IC number, the Q8K9W0 part. its the one with this format:

>tr|A0FGZ9|A0FGZ9_9ARCH Methyl coenzyme M reductase (Fragment) OS=uncu
+ltured archaeon GN=mcrA PE=4 SV=1
>tr|A0FH03|A0FH03_9ARCH Methyl coenzyme M reductase (Fragment) OS=uncu
+ltured archaeon GN=mcrA PE=4 SV=1

so that's what i need. also, what is a three parameter open and lexical file handles? all i know i learnt from the first 6 chapters of Beginning Perl by Simon Cozen
