Dear list,

is there any way to mask the ':' character so it is not interpreted as a 
delimiter for DB:sequence?
I have this file

/home/embtest/wProjects/test/.clustal.05.06.15:17.46.27/ops2_drome.msf

and when I run infoseq I get this error

$ infoseq 
/home/embtest/wProjects/test/.clustal.05.06.15:17.46.27/ops2_drome.msf
Displays some simple information about sequences
Error: failed to open filename 
'/home/embtest/wProjects/test/.clustal.05.06.15'
Error: Unable to read sequence 
'/home/embtest/wProjects/test/.clustal.05.06.15:17.46.27/ops2_drome.msf'
Died: infoseq terminated: Bad value for '-sequence' and no prompt


Thanks in advance,

Martin
