Hi folks,
In the IMGT/HLA database (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ipd/imgt/hla/) the
keywords field in the EMBL-Bank format flat-file contains allele names like:
A*02:364
While I can build an index containing the keywords, it does not appear
to be possible to search the index with the allele names. For example:
$ entret -stdout -auto 'imgthla-key:Allele'
works as expected, but:
$ entret -stdout -auto 'imgthla-key:A*02:364'
just gives errors:
Error: Failed to open filename 'imgthla-key'
Error: Unable to read sequence 'imgthla-key:A*02:364'
Died: entret terminated: Bad value for '-sequence' with -auto defined
I am guessing that the problem is the '*' and ':' characters in the
term... so is there some way to escape these or are the terms in the
index mangles in some way?
All the best,
Hamish
