=head1 NAME

Bio::Index::Fasta - Interface for indexing (multiple) fasta files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # Complete code for making an index for several
    # fasta files
    use Bio::Index::Fasta;
    use strict;

    my $Index_File_Name = shift;
    my $inx = Bio::Index::Fasta->new(
        '-filename' => $Index_File_Name,
        '-write_flag' => 1);
    $inx->make_index(@ARGV);

    # Print out several sequences present in the index
    # in Fasta format
    use Bio::Index::Fasta;
    use strict;

    my $Index_File_Name = shift;
    my $inx = Bio::Index::Fasta->new('-filename' => $Index_File_Name);
    my $out = Bio::SeqIO->new('-format' => 'Fasta','-fh' => \*STDOUT);

    foreach my $id (@ARGV) {
        my $seq = $inx->fetch($id); # Returns Bio::Seq object
	$out->write_seq($seq);
    }

    # or, alternatively
    my $id;
    my $seq = $inx->get_Seq_by_id($id); #identical to fetch

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Inherits functions for managing dbm files from Bio::Index::Abstract.pm,
and provides the basic funtionallity for indexing fasta files, and
retrieving the sequence from them. For best results 'use strict'.

Bio::Index::Fasta supports the Bio::DB::BioSeqI interface, meaning
it can be used as a Sequence database for other parts of bioperl

Details on configuration and additional example code are available in the
biodatabases.pod file, scripts/index/*PLS and in bptutorial.pl.

Note that by default the key for the sequence will be the first continuous
string after the 'E<gt>' in the fasta header. If you want to use a specific
substring of the fasta header you must use the id_parser() method.

You can also set or customize the unique key used to retrieve by 
writing your own function and calling the id_parser() method.
For example:

   $inx->id_parser(\&get_id);
   # make the index
   $inx->make_index($file_name);

   # here is where the retrieval key is specified
   sub get_id {
      my $line = shift;
      $line =~ /^>.+gi\|(\d+)/;
      $1;
   }

=head2 _file_format

 Title   : _file_format
 Function: The file format for this package, which is needed
           by the SeqIO system when reading the sequence.
 Returns : 'Fasta'

=cut

sub _file_format {
    return 'Fasta';
}

=head2 _index_file

  Title   : _index_file
  Usage   : $index->_index_file( $file_name, $i )
  Function: Specialist function to index FASTA format files.
            Is provided with a filename and an integer
            by make_index in its SUPER class.
  Example : 
  Returns : 
  Args    : 

=cut

sub _index_file {
	my( $self,
		 $file, # File name
		 $i,    # Index-number of file being indexed
	  ) = @_;

	my( $begin,     # Offset from start of file of the start
		             # of the last found record.
	  );

	$begin = 0;

	my $id_parser = $self->id_parser;

	open FASTA, $file or $self->throw("Can't open file for read : $file");

	# Main indexing loop
	while (<FASTA>) {
		if (/^>/) {
			# $begin is the position of the first character after the '>'
			my $begin = tell(FASTA) - length( $_ ) + 1;

			foreach my $id (&$id_parser($_)) {
				$self->add_record($id, $i, $begin);
			}
		}
	}
	close FASTA;
	return 1;
}

=head2 id_parser

  Title   : id_parser
  Usage   : $index->id_parser( CODE )
  Function: Stores or returns the code used by record_id to
            parse the ID for record from a string.  Useful
            for (for instance) specifying a different
            parser for different flavours of FASTA file. 
            Returns \&default_id_parser (see below) if not
            set. If you supply your own id_parser
            subroutine, then it should expect a fasta
            description line.  An entry will be added to
            the index for each string in the list returned.
  Example : $index->id_parser( \&my_id_parser )
  Returns : ref to CODE if called without arguments
  Args    : CODE

=cut

sub id_parser {
	my( $self, $code ) = @_;

	if ($code) {
		$self->{'_id_parser'} = $code;
	}
	return $self->{'_id_parser'} || \&default_id_parser;
}

=head2 default_id_parser

  Title   : default_id_parser
  Usage   : $id = default_id_parser( $header )
  Function: The default Fasta ID parser for Fasta.pm
            Returns $1 from applying the regexp /^>\s*(\S+)/
            to $header.
  Returns : ID string
  Args    : a fasta header line string

=cut

sub default_id_parser {
	if ($_[0] =~ /^>\s*(\S+)/) {
		return $1;
	} else {
		return;
	}
}

1;
