cannot load ranked list

[Huili Li]

Hi, how to upload the ranked list?

In the "load data" page, it does not take ".rnk". The supported file formats listed in the page are "res, gct, pcl, txt, cls, gmx, gmt, grp, chip".

In the "Run GSEAPreranked" page, there is no "..." next to the "Ranked List". The dropdown menu is empty. 

I tried installing the latest version of Java and then reinstalled GSEA (I couldn't find an "uninstall" for GSEA in my "installed Apps", so I just re-ran the "install"). But nothing worked. Thank you very much for the help.

This is the format of my rank file (.rnk), which I first saved as .txt (tab delim), then changed .txt to .rnk. Thank you,

GENE_SYMBOL  RANK_METRIC
ACT  23.65024599
CTRB2 7.913801112

SPRR2F 5.634045016
PRSS2 5.533216074

This is the error when I tried to upload in the "Load data" page.
