Method: Bio::FlatFile.open_uri

Defined in:
lib/bio/io/flatfile.rb

.open_uri(uri, *arg) ⇒ Object

Opens URI specified as uri. uri must be a String or URI object. *arg is passed to OpenURI.open_uri or URI#open.

Like FlatFile#open, it can accept a block.

Note that you MUST explicitly require ‘open-uri’. Because open-uri.rb modifies existing class, it isn’t required by default.
