# Choose any Range of FASTA records

+_name
# both --start and --end are optional;

# no --end => start reading from --start, read to end of file
# neither => print every line
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long;
my ($start, $end) = (undef, undef);
GetOptions(
"start=i" => \$start,
"end=i" => \$end,
);
$/='>';
while(<>) {
if(
(!defined($start) || $start <= $.) &&
(!defined($end) || $. <= $end)
) {
print;
}
In reality, the second script subsumes the first as a special case (set start and end to the same value).
As for your "show the number of lines" example, I don't understand it. From the looks of it, it looks like it counts the number of lines in the file that have a whitespace character in it. Is this really what you want?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
