Parse a text file into multiple text file
- by Vijay Kumar Singh
I want to get multiple file by parsing a input file Through Java.
The Input file contains many fasta format of thousands of protein sequence and I want to generate raw format(i.e., without any comma semicolon and without any extra symbol like "", "[", "]" etc) of each protein sequence.
A fasta sequence starts form "" symbol followed by description of protein and then sequence of protein.
For example ? lcl|NC_000001.10_cdsid_XP_003403591.1 [gene=LOC100652771]
[protein=hypothetical protein LOC100652771] [protein_id=XP_003403591.1] [location=join(12190..12227,12595..12721,13403..13639)]

Like above formate the input file contains 1000s of protein sequence. I have to generate thousands of raw file containing only individual protein sequence without any special symbol or gaps.
I have developed the code for it in Java but out put is : Cannot open a file followed by cannot find file.
Please help me to solve my problem.

File create = new File(inputline+"R.txt");
try

if(!create.exists())
{

// creates a new file
}
else
{
System.out.println("file already exists");
}
}
catch(IOException e)
// to catch the exception and print the error if cannot open a file
{
System.err.println("cannot create a file");
}
BufferedWriter outt = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(inputline+"R.txt", true));
outt.write(b[i][j]);
// printing the contents to a text file
outt.close();
// closing the text file
System.out.println(b[i][j]);
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("cannot open a file");
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
// catch the exception and prints the error if cannot find file
{
System.out.println("cannot find file ");
}
}
}
If you provide me correct it will be much easier to understand.
