Hi, I have been trying to execute this program and i am getting an error. Kindly help me. #!usr/bin/perl -w # The filename of the file which contains the protein sequence $proteinfilename = '/users/sukeerthiteja/desktop/perl/NM_021964fragment.pep'; # First open the file and associate a filehandle with it. for readability purpose lets use the filehandle PROTEINFILE. open(PROTEINFILE, $proteinfilename); # Now we do the actual reading of the protein sequence data from the file,by using < > to get # input from the filehandle. We store the data into variable $protein $protein = <PROTEINFILE>; #now that we got our data we can close the file close PROTEINFILE; #Print the protein onto the screen print "Here is the protein:\n\n"; print $protein; exit; ERROR: sukeerthi-tejas-macbook-pro:desktop sukeerthiteja$ perl 1.pl Here is the protein: {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf350 I am not able to print the protein content on the screen. Is this a problem with me of first properly putting things in my directory. Email: tejaminnu@gmail.com Thank you Regards Teja
Hi, Your file "/users/sukeerthiteja/desktop/perl/NM_021964fragment.pep" contains only one value or line? Because if it contains more than one line of information , your assigning of "$protein = <PROTEINFILE>;" will not work. It will only he last line of your file. IF thats the case you have to read the filehandle through a while loop.
Sorry for a spelling mistake. My last sentence should be read like this : It will only print the last line of your file. If that is the case you have to read the filehandle through a while loop.
