NAME

Bio::SearchIO::cross_match - CrossMatch-specific subclass of Bio::SearchIO

SYNOPSIS

    # Working with iterations (CrossMatch results)
    my $searchIO = Bio::SearchIO->new( -format => 'cross_match',
                            -file   => "$file.screen.out" )
    while(my $r = $searchIO->next_result) {
      while(my $hit = $r->next_hit) {
              while(my $hsp = $hit->next_hsp) {
           #Do the processing here.
        }
      }
    }

See Bio::SearchIO for details about working with Bio::SearchIO.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

next_result

 Title   : next_result
 Usage   : $result = stream->next_result
 Function: Reads the next ResultI object from the stream and returns it.

           Certain driver modules may encounter entries in the stream that
           are either misformatted or that use syntax not yet understood
           by the driver. If such an incident is recoverable, e.g., by
           dismissing a feature of a feature table or some other non-mandatory
           part of an entry, the driver will issue a warning. In the case
           of a non-recoverable situation an exception will be thrown.
           Do not assume that you can resume parsing the same stream after
           catching the exception. Note that you can always turn recoverable
           errors into exceptions by calling $stream->verbose(2) (see
           Bio::Root::RootI POD page).
 Returns : A Bio::Search::Result::ResultI object
 Args    : n/a

See Bio::Root::RootI

 Usage   : private

_parse

result_count

 Title   : result_count
 Usage   : $num = $stream->result_count;
 Function: Gets the number of CrossMatch results that have been parsed.
 Returns : integer
 Args    : none
 Throws  : none
