Question

[crivenster]

Hi, I am new to C++. i have to get the raw data from Ab1 sequence file for further analysis. so is there any lib to parse AB1 files? if not so,how to proceed with this?

Update: I tried to compile and install io_lib from staden website. After installation of MIGNW,MSYS and Zlib I am not able to compile the io_lib in my windows computer. It says zlib not found. At the Make step,the compilation aborts.

Using cygwin should be easier.

Maybe the abiview command-line tool from the EMBOSS suite is helpful for you?

Thanks but i have to design a tool to read ab1 file and do further analysis with it. I am new to C++ so i have very little idea on parsing this file. I know java,but the biojava lib dosent get the raw data from ab1 file. so wanted to try it in C++ .
