Here we go again analysing FASTA-files. I wonder if we are going to be mentioned in the dozens of biological research papers we have helped to create over time.

First: you come across like a teacher posing the homework for us. Actually we are all professionals here and have done our homework meticulously which is why we don't have to do more homework any more. In case it was homework given to you by your teacher: there is a special forum for this with special rules in place. Please re-create the thread there and provide the necessary information.

Second, in case this is not homework but actually your work: we do not insist on a lot of social conventions here (after all, we are sysadmins - being somewhat autistic is part of the requirement for this job), but still a well-placed "please" here and there, along with some of the common niceties called "good manners" oils the social machinery. If you ever wonder who writes the answers to your questions: it is not some clever machine and a fat server - it is actually living, breathing persons.

Third and foremost: we are here to help you help yourself. If you want a shell-script - WRITE IT! Attempts, however failing, will count. If you tried and it didn't work, post what you did and the error you got trying to run it. We will, regardless of how long it will take, explain to you what was wrong and how to do it better (actually quite like the way i explain to you right now why you need to change your problem statement) until you understand. We will also point out ways to better solve the problem, different tools, suggest sources to find valuable information and so on and so on. But we will NOT write your code for you. We are a help forum, not your unpaid programming staff.

I hope this helps.

diction(1)						      General Commands Manual							diction(1)

NAME
diction, explain, suggest - Prints wordy sentences and looks them up in an interactive thesaurus. SYNOPSIS
diction [-fpattern_file] [-k] [-ma] [-me] [-ml] [-ms] [-n] [file...] explain suggest The diction command finds all sentences in an English language document that contain phrases from a database of bad or wordy diction. The explain command is an interactive thesaurus for the English language phrases found by the diction command and only for those phrases. The diction command reads from standard in if no file operand is provided. The suggest command is a synonym for explain. OPTIONS
Names a user-created pattern file to be used in addition to the default file. Passes the -k option to the deroff command. The -k option keeps blocks of text specified nroff by requests or macros; for example, the request. Passes the -ma option to deroff. The -ma option interprets nroff man macros only. Overrides the default nroff -ms macro package. Causes deroff to skip lists; should be used if a docu- ment contains many lists of nonsentences. Overrides the default nroff -ms macro package. Suppresses use of the default file (used with -f). Only the user-created pattern file is used. DESCRIPTION
Each phrase found by the diction command is enclosed in [ ] (brackets). Because diction runs deroff before looking at the text, include formatting header files as part of the input. Before using the explain command, use the diction command to obtain a list of poorly worded phrases. When you use the explain command, the system prompts you for a phrase and responds with a grammatically acceptable alternative. You can continue typing phrases, or you can exit by pressing the End-of-File key sequence. The explain command can also take input redirected from a file. No other command line arguments are valid. NOTES
Use of nonstandard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks. In particular, diction does not understand -me. FILES
Default pattern file. Thesaurus used by the explain command. SEE ALSO
Commands: deroff(1), nroff(1) diction(1)
