Error in FAVE align: "WARNING: Incorrect format of input file: 1 entries per line."

[M Stoddard]

Hi all,

First-time FAVE user here.  I transcribed the speech in Praat and ran a script that converts my transcription textgrid into a .txt.  Now, when trying to align, I get the error "WARNING:  Incorrect format of input file: 1 entries per line."  I went through the textgrid and everything seems to be fine.  I also can't seem to find anyone who ever had the same problem so it's probably a stupid easy fix.

Thank you!

Hello,

I would guess that there us something up with the formatting of the .txt file. I'd recommend double checking the following things:

1. Be sure there are five and only five data columns, as described here: https://github.com/JoFrhwld/FAVE/wiki/Using-FAVE-align#the-transcription
2. Make sure that every column is separated by only one tab.
3. Make sure there aren't any tabs or new lines in any of the transcription lines.
4. Make sure there aren't any trailing tabs at the end of each line.
5. Make sure that the new lines are new lines and not carriage returns.
