I tried to import my data but I get this error message
"utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x9 in position 11. invalid start byte.
The command I ran was: qiime tools import --type 'SampleData[SequencesWithQuality]' --input-path ~/Desktop/Forward/ --input-format SingleLanePerSampleSingleEndDastqDirFmt --output-path ~/Desktop/demux.qza

Hi @Evodia,

Could you provide the full traceback (assuming you recieve it?) I suspect something is off with one of the plaintext files, but I think the traceback will let me know which one it was.
