    How do you filter for such features?

      Well first your read a line of the file; then parse it into the nine fields; and the test the 9th column for a 'locus_tag=', using index or a regex. If it contains one, store the record in an array or to another file.

        thank you, but I think it might be wasteful given that this is a standard file format supported by bioperl. I got some help from this: http://doc.bioperl.org/releases/bioperl-1.0.1/Bio/SeqFeatureI.html, I hope I will get it right.
