Help a perl newbie coding for a bioinfo guy please. I have a shell script that contains the following code
# $1=sequence_file, $2=input_file, $3=output file, $4=chain. if [ $# != 4 ] then echo "Usage: parse_pdb.sh sequence_file pdb_file output_file chain" exit fi TEMP_FILE=$$; #basename $2 >> $3 grep ^HELIX $2|sed 's/\ \ */\ /g'|cut -d" " -f1,5,6,9 >$TEMP_FILE grep ^SHEET $2|sed 's/\ \ */\ /g'|cut -d" " -f1,6,7,10 >>$TEMP_FILE parse_pdb.pl $1 $TEMP_FILE $3 rm $TEMP_FILE I have to write a cgi-perl script which takes the same inputs as the shell script and pass them to the parse_pdb.pl script. For that I have to replicate the grep command. How can I do that using perl ? Ofcourse I dont have to use the shell script now. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
