[Biojava-l] Problem with blast file parser

[Mark Schreiber]

Have you tried parsing the XML output. While the text parser does
'fake' XML by emitting SAX events I think that the XML parser may be a
lot more stable (the XML output of blast is more stable, at least
recently anyway).

I know this isn't the best solution to your problem but the default
text output of BLAST is not the most parseable. In fact it is probably
the least machine readable of all the blast outputs and definitely the
least stable.
