[Bioperl-l] problem about format convertion

[Dave Messina]

Hi again,
Please keep replies on the mailing list so everyone can follow and
contribute to the discussion.

It's impossible to tell what the problem is with the information you've
given us.

It could be:
1) The .ace file is empty
2) The .ace file is not named "xp_4.ace"
3) The .ace file is not in ace format
4) Bioperl isn't properly installed
etcetera

I don't have BioPerl installed on my computer at the moment; otherwise you
could send me your input file and I could test it here.

But really the solution is for you to check your assumptions. Use a
debugger.

Find a known valid ace file (there's one in the t/data directory that comes
with BioPerl) -- what happens if you run that through your code?

Think about all of the possible reasons why this may not be working, and
test them.


Dave
