findFirstEntity hangs on empty file #92

Closed assaron closed 2 years ago

assaron commented 5 years ago

Sometimes download.file results in empty file (can't reproduce it, but happened few times when there were some network problems). On this file findFirstEntity (and parseGSE) hangs due to infinite loop. I suggest to add check on the empty line var, so that on incorrect files it would fail instead of hanging.

Can be related to #57

This is an old issue that has been resolved.
