Command to get BlastDB(Blast Database) information

Hi guys,

I have a very simple question on how to get the information on the size of BLASTDB created using standalone BLAST. I have created several BLAST databases and now I need information on their size, number of sequences and the number of residues they contain. Thank you for your help.

I request for help regarding the extraction of sequences. I would like extract the sequence in various positions from the fasta file containing multiple sequences. I have the list of all positions and would like to save it with sequences and extracted sequences. May I do this with blastdbcmd ..you can guide me for any perl script. Please
