this is what I want but without double quote surrounding the number.

but I say in my last mail I am a very scarce in

programming and I written this script to use your code

but I can able to do correctly where is my mistake.

My data are in txt file so I make this script to read

them. <code> #!/usr/bin/perl; use strict; use warnings; use Modern::Perl; my $filename = $ARGV[0]; my $debug = $ARGV1; die "\n\tUSAGE: perl $0 exonerate output debug\n\n" unless $ARGV[0]; die "\n\tERROR: Cannot find the file $ARGV[0]\n\n" unless -e $ARGV[0]; open(IN,$filename); my $ids; my %hash; do {chomp; $_ = qq|$_"$hash{$1}"| if /(ID=.+)$/ and ++$hash{$1}; say} for $filename;

but I have a error " Cant locate Modern::Perl .."

I suppose that I don't have this module have you

suggestion to resolve it. If I want to use the code by monsoon <code> while(<>){ chomp; if(/(ID=.+)$/){ if(++$ids{$1} > 1){ say $_, $ids{$1}; next; } } say; }

its good to insert it in my script in this way <code> #!/usr/bin/perl; use strict; use warnings; my $filename = $ARGV[0]; my $debug = $ARGV1; die "\n\tUSAGE: perl $0 exonerate output debug\n\n" unless $ARGV[0]; die "\n\tERROR: Cannot find the file $ARGV[0]\n\n" unless -e $ARGV[0]; open(IN,$filename); my $ids; while($filename){ chomp; if(/(ID=.+)$/){ if(++$ids{$1} > 1){ say $_, $ids{$1}; next; } } say; } print say;

Hi, blacknight.

In case the Modern::Perl error is still occurring, try the following to produce the results you wanted w/o "quotes":

use strict;
use warnings;

my %hash;

do { chomp; $_ = qq|$_.$hash{$1}| if /(ID=.+)$/ and ++$hash{$1}; print
+ "$_\n" }
  for <DATA>;

Hi Kenosis

I tanks you very much.

You are fantastic.

the output its right, as I want it, but now I have the numbering also in non duplicate ID

.... ID=Locus10035v1rpkm10.18.1

.... Parent=Locus10035v1rpkm10.18

.... ID=Locus10035v2rpkm2.50.1

.... Parent=Locus10035v2rpkm2.50

.... ID=Locus10073v1rpkm10.09.1

.... Parent=Locus10073v1rpkm10.09

.... ID=Locus10182v1rpkm9.88.1

.... Parent=Locus10182v1rpkm9.88

.... ID=Locus10210v1rpkm9.81.1

but I would like to have only on duplicate and the numbering start only from second and so on.

Hi everyone I tried to resolve my issue on renaming duplicate data whit this script. But It don't obtain a result. where is my mistake? My aims is to obtain this format Parent same name of its previous ID, this is a imput file
