[Biojava-l] blast parsing and empty hits

Actually I have made changes that fix both the no summary and "No hits found" problems though I have not done extensive testing and I do not know if this would work for wu-blast yet. Its more of a hack though than a nice solution. It would be nice to use the regex in 1.4 to put together a nice clear parser and I may do that in the near future. I am still surprised that this is even a problem. Is the community that small that obvious problems like this have not been fixed much earlier?

Hi,

I might add, that if you are familiar with java, and this is just one use case that fails, it would probably be easy enough to enhance the parser?  It may not be touched much because it works as is, sending off SAX events merrily.  At least I like to hope that is the case ;-)
