Hello,
I'm having trouble parsing out the Bio.Emboss.Primer3Commandline output when using the Whitehead Institute Primer3 version 2.2.3 (and a compatible eprimer3 version). The parser (Bio.Emboss.Primer3) does not write out the reverse primer sequence i.e. the Primers -class member "reverse_seq" is empty. The parser worked fine with the 1.1.4 version of Primer3 and the compatible eprimer3.
The output of the primer3-2.2.3 compatible eprimer3 -version looks nearly identical to the old distributions:
# EPRIMER3 RESULTS FOR GQ0197_O05.1

# GC content failed 14

...and that's why I'm kinda lost. Thank you for your help!
