I think there's extra spaces between your directory and file names!

Does your scaffold file contain scaffolds too? Because the one you posted seems to only contain headers.

/GapFiller_v1-10_linux-x86_64/bowtie/bowtie-build --quiet --noref  GapFiller_RESULTS/alignoutput/GapFiller_RESULTS.1.gapclosure.fa GapFiller_RESULTS.1.gapclosure

scaffold2|size98566

scaffold3|size96881 
 sequence

If that is the exact header then are > missing from fasta header names?

Hello , thanks for reply NO there s ">" in the headers , what i didn't find is the NNNNNN maybe that why it show s this error message , when i created a new file containing the same content of thi previous one with some NNNNN... , and i run gapfiller, it didn't show the error message. still i don't know why sspace output doesn't have NNNN in the sequence
