form question: 10,000 characters
Implementation Question.
I have a form that needs to accept up to 10,000 characters (DNA sequence info). I need a script to examine every character(delete "eol" char and potentially change ambiguous chars). I believe string variables in Perl can only be 256 char long. Do I need to pass each line of form to the script, then create an array? Is there a way to read and pass individual char from the form to an array? Need to use Perl even though not alot of experience, novice with C and C++. Thanks
