You were right I was getting the data before it has been written to the
file. Now it's working perfect.
But know I have another problem it's possible to instead of making a single
request to NCBI_Blast with one sequence, make the request for all the
sequences in a multiFASTA file?
I'm trying to use threads to do this but until now without luck.
Thanks in advance,
