[Bioperl-l] Simple question on reading a .msf file

[Brian Osborne]

Terry,

I'm puzzled about something. I'm looking at msf.pm and it looks like it
_should_ work, even with the tilde's in there. Can you send me the file?

It's not in my perldoc Bio::AlignIO::msf. It is in Bio::SimpleAlign
though.  But I tried this originally, and I can call map_chars but
then the code breaks because Bio::SimpleAlign has no next_aln().

I got another suggestion, from Stefan Kirov, to try the same thing
(map_chars). He also suggested replacing '~' with '-' outside bioperl,
and this does work. I'd like to avoid it though, because I'd
rather not touch the .msf files outside of bioperl.

Thanks a lot,
Terry
