[Bioperl-l] trying to save blast hit sequences to fasta file

The $hseq->$hsp->hit_string() will return the string of hit sequence, rather than an objective of Bio::Seq. So may be you should construct a objective firstly, then you could use $seq_out->write_seq($hseq_obj) to write the seq into a fasta file.

# my $seq_out = Bio::SeqIO->new("-file" => ">$fasfilename", "-format" =>"fasta");
  my $seq_out = Bio::SearchIO->new("-file" => ">$fasfilename", "-format"=> "fasta");
while(my $result = $blast_report->next_result()) {
   while(my $hit = $result->next_hit()) {
      while(my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp()) {
         my $hseq = $hsp->hit_string(); 
            $hseq =~ s/-//g; #### remove the gap within the aligment
         my $hseq_obj = Bio::Seq->new(-display_id => $id, -seq => $hseq); 
         # $seq_out->write_seq($hseq);
         $seq_out->write_result($hseq_obj);
      }
   }
}
