[EMBOSS] dbiflat and entret...

[Ted Chiang]

Hi,

I ran dbiflat on a swissprot flatfile with the option '-fields taxon' in
order to index the db by species.  All went well, and there were files:

taxon.hit
taxon.trg

produced in addition to the division.lkp and entrynam.idx.

My question is how do I now retrieve only the records that are for a given
species, ie.

$ entret swtest:HOMO
Reads and writes (returns) flatfiles entries
Error: Database Entry 'HOMO' not found
Error: Unable to read sequence 'swtest:HOMO'



I know the dbiflat worked, because when I run

$ entret swtest:*

I get all the files in the database.


Thanks for the help.
