Sorry for not explaining things better...I have a hard time doing that sometimes. What I'm trying to do is take the target name (ex. 100000_at) and use that as the object to pattern match against. The target name is the only thing that the data sets have in common (I want all the 10000_at, 10001_at sets etc. together). By pattern matching, I hope to be able to print out the interegation positions (where the probe sequences are found in the genome) and sequences (actg's in repetition)for each probe that belongs to a single target. The way the file is arranged, it would seem like I could just use a counter and have it chop up the data for every such-and-such number of lines, but there are apparently a few targets with a varying number of probes. Since that is the case, I have to separate the probe sets based on their relevant target name. I can then import the output file into excel and have a spreadsheet of all the targets, with one row dedicated to the "probes" (stands of dna that are attached to a glass slide) that match that target.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
