Hi Daryl,

Headers are recognized by lines starting with a "#".  Have you tried that?

Hi, 

I was wondering if I'm using the -header parameter correctly?

$ bedtools intersect -a tmp1 -b tmp1 -loj -header

Unexpected file format.  Please use tab-delimited BED, GFF, or VCF. Perhaps you have non-integer starts or ends at line 1?

$ bedtools sort -header -i tmp1
