[Bioperl-l] Output a subset of FASTA data from a single largefile

Did you try my one-liner?

Anyway, try this
	1) predeclare $idmatch before the while loop
	2) use ` select OUT` and print with no args to get $_ into it

like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $IDs = 'ID_dat.txt';

unless (open(IDFILE, $IDs)) {
	print "Could not open file $IDs!\n";
	}

my $probes = 'HG_U95Av2_probe_fasta.txt';

unless (open(PROBES, $probes)) {
	print "Could not open file $probes!\n";
	}

open (OUT,'>','probe_subset.txt') or die "Can't write output: $!";
select OUT; 

my @ID = <IDFILE>;
chomp @ID;
my %ID = map {($_, 1)} @ID; #Note: This creates a hash with keys=PSIDs
and all values=1.
my $idmatch;
	while (<PROBES>) {
		$idmatch = exists($ID{$1}) if /^>probe:\w+:(\w+):/;
		if ($idmatch){
			print ;
		}
	}
exit;
