Parsing failure for blank lines in a BED file #11

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If provided with a segmentation containing a blank line, segtools dies with 
this error message:

    if words[0] == "track":  # Ignore any track lines
IndexError: list index out of range

It should instead say something like "Input file foo.bed is misformatted at 
line 478.  The line is blank."
