Re^10: Perl tk - How to integrate external scripts

[Giorgio C]

Hi Eliya, following all your directions i corrected the script code (with the help of 'warnings' and 'strict'), now i have no much error messages coming out. Further, i was able to integreate inside the script of %statistics without problems (thanks to you surely)! Do you know if it's possible to print the result in a window ? (messagebox, or a little scrolled window, etc..). For now the result is printed out in the terminal and i would like to see it in a GUI window.

#all global variable set well !

........


$mw-> Button (-text =>'Open', -command =>\&open_file)->place(-x=>240, 
+-y=>35); 

$mw-> Button (-text =>'Get Statistics', -command =>\&get_statistics)->
+place(-x=>320, -y=>35); 








sub open_file {$open = $mw->getOpenFile(

                               -filetypes => $types_OPEN,

                              -defaultextension => '.sff');

                                      $te->Load( "$open");}






sub get_statistics { 
my $fastafile= $open;

    open (FASTA, "<$fastafile");
$/ = ">";

my $junkFirstOne = <FASTA>;

while (<FASTA>) {
    chomp;
    my ($def,@seqlines) = split /\n/, $_;
    my $seq = join '', @seqlines;
    $stat->add_data(length($seq));
}

%distrib = $stat->frequency_distribution(\@bins);
print "Total reads:\t" . $stat->count() . "\n";
print "Total nt:\t" . $stat->sum() . "\n";
print "Mean length:\t" . $stat->mean() . "\n";
print "Median length:\t" . $stat->median() . "\n";
print "Mode length:\t" . $stat->mode() . "\n";
print "Max length:\t" . $stat->max() . "\n";
print "Min length:\t" . $stat->min() . "\n";
print "Length\t# Seqs\n";
foreach (sort {$a <=> $b} keys %distrib) {
    print "$_\t$distrib{$_}\n";}};

#This is the result in the terminal for an example $open file:

Total reads:    4981
Total nt:    104724
Mean length:    21.024693836579
Median length:    21
Mode length:    21
Max length:    27
Min length:    18
Length    # Seqs
18    290
19    456
20    874
21    1974
22    626
23    281
24    373
25    69
26    32
27    6
28    0

It works fine and correctly. Do you know how to print this result in a GUI windows and not only in the terminal? Thanks you !!!

Sure, see Perl tk - open file and print content

Yes i see it it was a post started by me. I'v tried to set at the end :

my $te2= tkinit->Scrolled( q/TextUndo/,-scrollbars => 'osw',

                           -background => 'white',

                          -font =>'normal',

                          -wrap => 'none',)->pack; 
$te2>Load( "$distrib" ); MainLoop;

But in this case there is a multiple print line to see on screen and however i am unable to see even one of them. Any suggestions?

Tk::TextUndo inherits the methods from the Tk::Text widget, so you can use ->insert() to add text to the widget:

    ...
    $te2->insert('end',  "Mean length:\t" . $stat->mean() . "\n");    
+# append line
    ...
    ...
    # $te2->see('end');    # optionally scroll to the end
