Dear ALL, I created a file named NM021964fragment.pep (using text editor) but I could not read that particular file.
Here is the script I used: #!/usr/bin/perl -w #Reading protein sequence from a file The filename of the file containing the protein sequence data $proteinfilename = "NM021964fragment.pep"; #First we have to 'open' the file and associate it a 'filehandle' with it. We choose the filehandle #PROTEINFILE for readability. open(PROTEINFILE, $proteinfilename); #now we do the actual reading of the protein sequence data from the file by using angle bracket < and > $protein = <PROTEINFILE>; close PROTEINFILE; print $protein; exit; Here is the output after running the program: Can't locate object method "sequence" via package "data" (perhaps you forgot to load "data"?) at readprotein.pl line 4. would be glad if somebody can give me prompt recommendations. regards, Femi
