in reply to Input record separator

Go check out BioPerl. They already have modules to deal with the problem and tutorials to help you to figure it out. It saves revinventing the wheel.

An alternative is check out the O'Reilly Tisdale book - beginning Perl for Bioinformatics - again thre are many good examples around this type of problem in there.

    Even better.... check out the EMBOSS suite of programs (but you need a system administrator to install it into Linux).
