Folders with spaces are problematic #51

Closed nuno-agostinho closed 6 years ago

nuno-agostinho commented 8 years ago

The program isn't prepared to handle folders with spaces in their names. When trying to run VAST-TOOLS in such a folder, the program splits the folder path in the first space and tries to look for the input files there. This causes a warning that states "input files" don't exist.

For example, trying to run VAST-TOOLS in a directory named "monty python" returns the following output:

[vast align error]: Input file python/vast_out does not exist!

This is easily solved by removing spaces from the name of the working folder.

Hi @nuno-agostinho,

We'll look into this for the next release, but in the meantime it's probably best that you avoid spaces in your folders.
