[Bioperl-l] getting teh NO HITS FOUND with SearchIO

[Edith Schlagenhauf]

Hi,

to deal with "No Hits Found" you might just add sort of a
check if the object returned by $result->next_hit() is
defined/not defined, ie.

my $best_hit = $result->next_hit();

if (!defined $best_hit) {
         print "No hits found \n";
}

HTH,
Edith
