drag and drop & run error

[Chucho Diaz-Cruz]

Hi all, 

I am trying to run the attached file but when I drag and drop my  nexus file, it appears the following pop up window.

I get around it if I manually upload my .nex with the File -> Import aligment.

That being said, when I run that file with BEAST, it throwsme the following error

Error 110 parsing the xml input file

validate and intialize error: initAndValidate() failed! Index 2 out of bounds for length 2

Error detected about here:
  <beast>
      <run id='mcmc' spec='MCMC'>
          <distribution id='posterior' spec='CompoundDistribution'>
              <distribution id='likelihood' spec='CompoundDistribution'>
                  <distribution id='treeLikelihood.pterosaurio_discreto_only' spec='ThreadedTreeLikelihood'>

 I am using latest version of Beast for windows. Even I tried past versions but with the same results. Perhaps polymorphic characters have something to do with this?

Files:

.xml

nex

Thanks in advance

Hi Chucho,

The nexus file contains spaces in the symbols declaration that confuse the parser. Removing those so it reads 

SYMBOLS="0123456789"; 

should fix the problem.

Indeed, that was the problem with my dataset.

Thank you so much.
