hi Cee -

  copying the text you posted above into the file "0text.txt" and 
running this:

  f = "0text.txt"
  file  = File.open(f)
  buffer = []
  bufferindex = 0

  file.each_line(sep=">"){|line|
       buffer[bufferindex] = line.chomp
       bufferkey+=1
  }

p buffer[0]
p buffer[1]
p buffer[2]
p buffer[3]

  i get this as output:

#=> ">"
#=> "gi|329295464|ref|NM_2005745.3Acc1| Def1 zgc:65895 (zgc:65895), 
mRNA\\n\nAGCTCGGGGGCTCTAGCGATTTAAGGAGCGATGCGATCGAGCTGACCGTCGCG\\n\n\\n\n>"

  does this work for you?  you could easily write ways to deal with, 
dump, and reset the buffers when they fill up.  you can of course also 
clean up all the "\n"'s...

  i agree with 7stud that using #.pos and #.gets seems like a long walk 
off a short pier.  i'm pretty green myself, and there are probably 
better ways to iterate through the file, but #.each_line(sep=">") works 
just fine, and doesn't eat up memory.
