[Bioperl-l] Filtering Hits and HSP

[josh katz]

I was wondering if anyone had a way of filtering hits by top-k using
the Bio::SearchIO::Writer::TextResultWriter. A specific example of
what I want, I have a Blast file that contains 50 hits and 50
alignments per hit. I would instead like the top 10 hits and 10
alignments from this file, I can filter the HSP by using $hsp->rank
value but I can't come up with a counting method for the hits. Any
ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
