NlaIII digestion problem

[StevenWingett]

We used NlaIII enzyme to digest in our Hi-C.
I specified --re1 CATG^,NlaIII when I run hicup_digester, the result file seems good, here shows the head of the file.

But when I run HICUP with it, it gives no results, from the log I found there is no sequence in [].

I had the same issue, and I think it's because you need to provide the dangling sequence too on the otherside of the caret:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NlaIII

so I got something to print, when I used --re1 CATG^CATG,NlaIII

Edit: ignore this comment, see updated issue below

After more playing around I realise that "CATG^" should actually work, and that the sequences being looked for should just be "CATG" and not "CATGCATG" or "CATGGTAC" or any other.

Currently the truncated file is completely improperly truncated:

If I have a sequence

I'll call this file test1.fq

How CATG^GTAC is truncated

rm -rf test_dir; mkdir test;
hicup_truncater --re1 "CATG^GTAC"  test1.fq test1.fq  ## just write it twice for testing

yields:

"Truncating sequences at occurrence of sequences '[CATGGTAC]'"

Note that each read which matches "CATGGTAC" is cut, and the sequence ends with it

How CATG^ is truncated:

rm -rf test_dir; mkdir test;
hicup_truncater --re1 "CATG^"  test1.fq test1.fq

yields:

"Truncating sequences at occurrence of sequences '[]'"

Note how the read has basically just vanished. This is wrong
