Read .seq files in java

Question

[orelsmail]

Hello everybody I've been looking for a library or a class to help me read a .seq file, but I couldn't find anything. I also didn't find any information about the seq file and how it is organized..

So if anybody can show me an example in java of how to read and get the important details(the protein sequence) out of the file, I'll be happy :)

Thanks ahead.

okay, and what did you find ?

Thanks for the quick respond.

To be honest, basically nothing. Nothing helpful is written in the readme file. I couldn't even find a program that works with that server, and apparently, it is a very popular database among researchers.

All I need is help to figure out how's the data organized there and the rest is easily codeable.
