UrQt crashing with message "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): basic_string::at"

[a-kroh]

When using UrQT to trim paired-end fastq-files the program crashed and I received the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' what(): basic_string::at

Turned out the problem was that there were some empty lines at the end of the fastq-files that caused this error. Removed them with vim and ran UrQt again w/o encountering a problem. Thought that others might run into this issue as well, which is why I report it here.
Maybe this could be addressed in a future versions.

Hi, @a-kroh

Thank you for your interest in UrQt. I am aware of this problem and giving it the right error message is on my to-do list.

I will close this issue when it’s done. Meanwhile, I hope it will help others who encounter this problem.
