Deal with asterisk "*" character in inputs

[Aciole-David]

Hello! I'd like to kindly ask if is it possible to add support to inputs baring asterisk "*" character. This one I tested was made with sam2fasta.py:

raw

$ cat minitestsam2fastapy.fasta

>NC_045512.2_1bp_to_1680bp
ATTAAAGGTTTATACCTTCCCAGGTAACAAACC
>clone1
ATTAAAGGTTTATACC**CCCAGGTAACAAACC
>clone2
-----------------------------AACC

raw fails

$ mview -in fasta minitestsam2fastapy.fasta

Sequence lengths differ for output format 'mview' - aborting
mview: no alignments found
mview: no alignments found

$ cat minitestsam2fastapy-EDIT.fasta

ATTAAAGGTTTATACCTTCCCAGGTAACAAACC
>clone1
ATTAAAGGTTTATACC--CCCAGGTAACAAACC
>clone2
-----------------------------AACC

edited works

$ mview -in fasta minitestsam2fastapy-EDIT.fasta
