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
