I believe moritz's script will do what you want, but your expected output is confusing:

MA01001A1A03.f1 760 5640111 ad1
MA01001A1A04.f1 300 15232924 ubq
MA01001A1B22.f1 580 77745475 ra
[download]

Should not the second line list the first occurrence of ubq? And what happened to DNA?

MA01001A1A03.f1 760 5640111 ad1
MA01001A1A03.f1 760 42572233 ubq
MA01001A1A04.f1 300 145334669 DNA
MA01001A1B22.f1 580 77745475 ra
[download]

Update: Ah, yes...
As moritz points out (in more polite words) below, I am an idiot. Or tired. I repent, expect swift and adequate punishment, and demand this node be voted down to about -5. (but not much more. please)

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.
