Hi all,

I am having a problem when parsing blast output from Standalone Blast. I am specifying "Blast" as the READMETHOD in the parameters passed to the
Standalone package.
However when I try to find the start of the hit using the following line:

print OUT "start of hsp: ", $hsp->start('sbjct') ,"\n";

the output is   start of hsp: sbjct not                 start of hsp: 12345    where 12345 is the starting point
if the blast hit within the subject.

If instead the line is
print OUT "start of hsp: ", $hsp->start() ,"\n";

then I do  get a value which is probably the default, equivalent to
$hsp->start('query')

Please can anyone tell me how I can get the value for the start of the blast
hit in the subject.

Many thanks,


Anthony
