Issue importing Paired end sequences with quality

[colinbrislawn (Colin J Brislawn)]

Hello Lautaro,

I took a look at your manifest file, and it looks good, except for the line endings.

(Windows and Linux use different ways to note a
new
line
of
text.)

Once you convert to the Linux format by saving it with a text editor or using a command like
dos2unix Manifest.txt
then this should work great!

You are not the first to have this issue! More info here:

FASTQ Files Importing Error

If you use Excel to make your CSV, it will insert CRLF line breaks (whether or not you are using windows, I believe). So you need to either just open in textedit and use find/replace to fix the line breaks, or use mac2unix or a program like that to convert the carriage returns. So Excel is okay — just make sure to convert the line endings. This will be an issue with making sample metadata files, too, not only manifest files.
