Re^2: Syntax error "."

Dear poj,

I am running the script by opening the script using Padre. The script works fine for me. According to the script, it takes two input files. Then, I key in the following command (according to the README_70.txt file) into the script and executed the script:

./targetscan_70.pl miR_Family_info_sample.txt UTR_Sequences_sample.txt targetscan_70_output.txt

However, only syntax error was obtained.

My OS is Microsoft Window vista and perl version 5.12.3

Thank you so much and Merry Christmas.

Best regards,

Newbiez

Don't make any changes to the script. If you want to use Padre open the script `targetscan_70.pl` using `File->Open..`. Then using `Tools->Preferences->Language - Perl 5` set the `Script Arguments` to `miR_Family_info_sample.txt UTR_Sequences_sample.txt targetscan_70_output.txt` and Save. Now run script (F5) If you get message `Line 89: Using a \| char in open without a \| at the beginning or end is usually a typo. Do you want to continue ?` press Yes. If you get message `Should I over-write targetscan_70_output.txt [yes/no]?` enter Yes and you should see Processing CDC2L6 Processing FNDC3A Processing LIN28B Processing LPHN1 Processing NLRP1 Processing ZNF197 Press any key to continue . . .> poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]
