Hello,
I'm new to this mailing list. I hope my question can be answered by one of
you.
I use lynx to retreive the result of a biological database query. It works
for "Entrez" (a server for biological sequences). I do:
lynx -dump -cfg=~/.lynxrc
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query\?db=n\&form=4\&term=dolphin+\[ALL\]\&dopt=f\&tool=EntrezLinkDoc
> EntrezResultFile
I would like to do the same thing with another server called "Blast". But
this time I need to post data contained in a file called p.in.
Content of p.in:
PROGRAM blastn
DATALIB month
BEGIN
> gene1
aaagggcccttt
O.K. Then I tried:
lynx -cfg=~/.lynxrc
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/BLAST/nph-blast_report -post_data <
p.in
BUT I get the following error message:
----ERROR IN BLAST REQUEST------Short error description...etc...
...etc... Your original message was:
----------------------------PROGRAM
blastnDATALIB
monthBEGIN>gene1aaagggcccttt-------
Seems like the \n in p.in are not considered?
Can anybody help?
Regards,
Vieri Di Paola
