[Bioperl-l] blast parsing for multiple blast output in one file

[Yuandan Zhang]

Hi,

I have a multiple blast output stored in one file. This file was generated by a NCBI blast batch run. I tried to parse it using Bio::Tools::Blast. However, this module parses one blast result from one file or multiple blast results from multiple files. I am reluctant to split the multiple blast results into a number of files, each file contains one blast output, because this will generate a few thousands of files. Any advice on parsing multiple blast output stored in one file?

Thanks,

Yuandan
