Thanks Eric!!
It works very well!! Is it also possible to save the alignment file without omitting the all-gap columns?

Hi Tiziano,
I guess your question confuses me in two ways:

1) AFAIK, MatchMaker-generated alignments never have all-gap columns.

2) Although the MAV save dialog defaults to "omit all-gap columns", the script I sent doesn't.  I would have to add few more lines of code to the script to get it to omit all-gap columns.

Maybe you were assuming it was omitting them when it wasn't?
