Re: Parsing Sequence Records

You might also consider using the three argument form of open:

open(my $in, '<', "/Users/Desktop/Pipelines/fungi.1.aa.hypothetical.fa
+a");
open(my $out, '>', "Users/Desktop/Pipelines/fungi.1.aa.hypothetical50.
+faa");

I definitely agree with the three-argument syntax you are suggesting, but I think that MidLifeXis's comment was even more important: checking whether the file could be open. I would therefore suggest this possible syntax: `my $input_file = "/Users/Desktop/Pipelines/fungi.1.aa.hypothetical.faa +"); my $output_file = "Users/Desktop/Pipelines/fungi.1.aa.hypothetical50.f +aa"); open my $in, '<', $input_file or die "could not open $input_file $!"; open my $out, '>', $output_file or die "could not open $output_file $! +";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
