Thanks RudiC. It seems it's working just fine.
Now I have many files which I cannot open them. I believe it's because of their name:

one example:
gi|16799079|ref|NC_003212.1|:2769071-2769101.txt

How can I rename them all by replacing pipes and colons by underscore for example to have something like this:

gi_16799079_ref_NC_003212.1__2769071-2769101.txt

I appreciate your help!
