Make the GenBank parser more robust to different indentations of the ORIGIN #7

Closed jjby closed 9 years ago

Thanks for the additional commit and test case! This looks great, and is much more robust than assuming the indentation was either 9 or 10 (certainly no reason the numbers had to be that small).

I suppose it is possible that you only need to determine the initial indentation once rather than on each line? I have never seen a genbank file with different indentations (though have not seen all that many). Probably best to go with the safe solution unless we know otherwise though.

Thanks again!
