Hello , Thanks for your explanation and also for the explanation of the 21 Mar = 2004 concerning how to include a new parser file. Actually I used the scripts that are on the following urls : http://bioinformatics.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/biophp/genephp/#dirlist http://bioinformatics.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/biophp/genephp/parsers/ Am I wrong to use these scripts ? Do you have an url where I can find updated version of these scripts in = order to start playing. Thanks a lot Fred Message: 2 Subject: Re: [Biophp-dev] New question from the Newbie From: Nico Stuurman <nicos@itsa.ucsf.edu> To: biophp-dev@bioinformatics.org Date: 19 Mar 2004 08:18:25 -0800 Reply-To: biophp-dev@bioinformatics.org Hi Fred, =20 > I am planning to do a locuslink-file parser.

Did you get the code from the current biophp cvs (it is all quite confusingly organized at the moment)? I am asking, because I can not find a function parse_swissprot. There is a class parse_swissprot (in file parsers/swissprot_inc.php).=20 However, this file only contains the line you mention here embedded in a comment (on line # 167). Line #166 reads: while ( list($no, $linestr) =3D each($sourcelines) ) { $sourcelines is an array that contains every line of the actual data as an item (in the while loop, $no will hold the line number and $linesrt the line's content). Somehow, it looks like you are working with an older version of the code. =20 It also looks like Sean and I should do a better job documenting how the parser classes work (I can barely remember myself!). Hope this helps, please don't hesitate to ask further questions.
