The last line of the file is just text but without a newline
(\n) character or any other whitespace character at the end. I
get the same error when I remove the strip function from the
readln line.
There is *very* likely to be a terminating new-line at the end of
the file (many editors add one without asking!). If that the
case, the last line seen by the loop will be empty and you must
not attempt to access any elements.
