Re: Re: Variables not entering sub routine

An example of the two lines of interest in the intput text is shown below:


   <gene id = "251" label = "gene_of_interest">
    <gene_seq id = "321" status = "Sanger source DNA code" CDS_number 
+= "1" number_of_CDSs = "" sequence_source "/data/databases/flatfiles/
+sequences/species/genome/embl/ch1.embl" startpos = "2435591" endpos =
+ "2436562" startopen = "1" endopen = "1" complement = "F"/>

If I could ask an XML question in relation to this. Does any XML convention suggest that the two ids here should have the same value?

If your data is valid XML, run, don't walk, to the XML namespace. Something there will save you a bazillion headaches and make this job easy. Yes, you haven't yet reached a closing </gene> tag so the gene_seq data is part of gene's data. If there is no closing tag, you don't have valid XML. After Compline, Zaxo	[reply]
