Hello Gentlepeople,

I am interested in using regular expressions to search the human genome for occurrences of my favorite motif. I need coordinate values for each hit. I chose the EMBOSS program "dreg" for this task. I have a set of of fasta files; I have one fasta file per human chromosome. I wish to index these files with dbifasta so that I can use the dreg program for the regex search.
I use the following command:

m...@mycpu$ dbifasta -dbname UCSC_hg19_softmask -idformat simple -directory /storage/EMBOSS/Emboss_DB -filenames *.fa -release hg19 -date 01/04/11 -outfile /storage/EMBOSS/Emboss_DB/logfile.dbifasta

And receive the following error:

Error: Argument 'seq01' : Too many parameters 2/1

...the file that holds the chromosome sequences are named seq00.fa, seq01.fa, seq02.fa ... so on.
Any sort of help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time in developing and maintaining this resource!
