hi, here is the problem that i am trying to solve: i have a file of 1000 DNA sequences. for each sequence i run a program X (which comes with a perl wrapper); capture the output of program X in a file; process the file to get some information.
now, running X and processing the output file are time-consuming steps, so if i were to work through my list of 1000 sequences thus: run program X on sequence1 1. process output file1 2. run program X on sequence2 3. process output file2 . . . (you get the idea) then the program would take a very long time to run. is there any way i can do this: 1. run program X on sequence1 2. process output file1 run program X on sequence2 3. process output file2 run program X on sequence3 in other words, run program X and also process the output file of the previous X run simultaneously? all advice will be appreciated. tia. anjan -- ANJAN PURKAYASTHA, PhD.
