Error 1 - Input file format incorrect

[Calum Tattersfield]

Hello,

I am having difficulties getting SNP2GENE to work with my data file. It was given to me as an Excel book, and I have manipulated it in a Linux shell with R to be a text file with eol character "\n", tab delimited, and with the column headers according to the tutorial. Despite this, I am receiving the following error message - ERROR: 1 (Input file format was not correct / P-value column was not found). What is it in my file format that is causing this message?

Thank you.

Hi Calum,

It could be due to the quotes (") in your column names and data. Can you try writing the file without quotes and resubmitting? Depending on what function you are using to write files in R, you can use the option quote=FALSE. Or alternatively in bash you can remove quotes from your file using sed.

Cheers,

Doug
