[Bioperl-l] About extracting sequence from genewise format result

[zhaoy at mail.cbi.pku.edu.cn]

Dear authors:

Hello!

Recently I am trying to parse the genewise format result for extracting
the nuclear sequence using method "hit_string" in module "SearchIO",
however, the result is empty. What's more terrible, the cycle seems not
working, because I always get the last result. I'm confused.

My perl code is shown below:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;

use Bio::SearchIO;
my $in = new Bio::SearchIO(-format => 'wise',
                           -wisetype => 'genewise',
                           -file   => 'test');
while( my $result = $in->next_result ) {
        while (my $hit = $result->next_hit) {
           while (my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp){
                print "Query=",      $result->query_name, "\n",
                      "Length=",     $hsp->length('total'),"\n",
                      "hit_string:", $hsp->hit_string, "\n";
}
}
}

And one of the genewise format results is shown below:

The part of output of this code is shown below:

What's wrong with my code and how can I get the correct result? I'm
looking forward to your reply.

Thanks very much!
