Hi, I have noticed for a while now that BED files are not recognized correctly or at least not parsed out correctly. I notice that invariably, the (9 column) BED file comments state there is 1 region and X comments, where X + 1 is the actual number of regions in the file.. Here's a few lines from the file 1 38076950 38077349 utr3:RSPO1 1 - 38077349 38077349 0,0,255 1 38077420 38078426 utr3:RSPO1 1 - 38078426 38078426 0,0,255 1 38078426 38078593 cds:RSPO1 1 - 38078426 38078593 255,0,0 1 38079375 38079564 cds:RSPO1 1 - 38079375 38079564 255,0,0 1 38079855 38080005 cds:RSPO1 1 - 38079855 38080005 255,0,0 1 38082155 38082347 cds:RSPO1 1 - 38082155 38082347 255,0,0 1 38095239 38095333 cds:RSPO1 1 - 38095239 38095333 255,0,0 1 38095333 38095621 utr5:RSPO1 1 - 38095621 38095621 0,0,255 Any ideas why it thinks there are comments in the file and why only one region? The file is a regular txt file without the LF and is not DOS format or anything... It also does not parse out the name, score and strand info, but once I correct that manually, it works, but it is a pain to have to do that everytime... Thanks, Thon
