Dear all,

I just encountered the following bug:

If a file name contains a dash, then EMBOSS will be disturbed when a directory
named as the string before that dash is present in the same directory.

echo -e '>A\nAAAAAA' > test-1.fa

cat test-1.fa 
# >A
# AAAAAA

seqret test-1.fa:A stdout
# Read and write (return) sequences
# >A
# AAAAAA

mkdir test

seqret test-1.fa:A stdout
# Read and write (return) sequences
# Error: Query 'test-1.fa:A' query field '1.fa' not defined for datatype 'sequence'
# Error: Unable to read sequence 'test-1.fa:A'
# Died: seqret terminated: Bad value for '-sequence' and no prompt

Cheers,
