[Biojava-l] Uniprot files

[Sofia Burvall]

Hi!

I have just started to get to know biojava. I have written a small  
program that reads a file with the help of the biojavax method

  	RichSequence.IOTools.readFile(filen,ns );

and then tries to write the file as UniProt using

	RichSequence.IOTools.writeUniProt(System.out, seqit, ns);

This works nicely when I read a fasta file. But when I try to read a  
Uniprot file I get this error message:

org.biojava.bio.BioException: Could not read sequence
	at org.biojavax.bio.seq.io.RichStreamReader.nextRichSequence

(UniProtFormat.java:349)
	at org.biojavax.bio.seq.io.RichStreamReader.nextRichSequence 
(RichStreamReader.java:110)
	... 4 more


  When I try other uniprot files i get the same error. It complains  
about "Bad date line..".
What can be the reason for this? Is it the wrong file format?


Cheers
