Ah, I see what's happened here. You edited the scraper file, which isn't quite what we had in mind. Just a gentle reminder: the file's already set up correctly for our database, so manual adjustments aren't necessary. Running the scraper each time might slow things down a tad. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, though. Perhaps clearer documentation about not tinkering with the file would help prevent this.

Description:
When I modified testArticleScraper.txt and deleted some of the text. There is no validation to check for corrupted data. When I launched the program, it crashed after I entered my name presumptuously because the program cannot load the articles properly due to corrupted files
Steps to Reproduce:
Edit the text file "testArticleScraper.txt" as shown

Relaunch the program and enter a random name. The program will crash
Actual Result: The program should check for corrupted data and generate new data if it detects any corrupted data.
