No error is generated when user mistakenly input "-k" twice instead of "-k" and "-K" (see below). The program silently attributes the value of the second "-k" to both k and K. The proposed modification is a quick and dirty way of avoiding the bug. A better way to solve this would be for the function decode_switches() to return an error. Changing from -k / -K to, for example, -kmin / -kmax could also circumvent the problem. Problem demo : #./maw -a DNA -i U00096.fna -o test.fna -k 2 -K 10 k is 2 and K is 10 #./maw -a DNA -i U00096.fna -o test.fna -k 2 -k 10 k is 10 and K is 10

Problem demo :

k is 2 and K is 10
./maw -a DNA -i U00096.fna -o test.fna -k 2 -k 10
k is 10 and K is 10
