Thank you for your help. I have used the blastp.loc file and renamed it and altered it in order to keep the same format as in the previous tool. Also I used the same ordering from blastp tool (i.e. 0=value 1=name 2=path). Nevertheless when I run my tool I get the error:
I have used chmod 777 for my file but the issue still persists. Can you help me please? What could be the problem.
