Error saying - 'Error in Alignment Parsing:Expected W:(abcd...) (at char 18), (line:2, col:1)'

Dear Rob

I am analysing the dataset of 9 gene ~ 3201 bp sequence length. I tried running PF many times, but every time the same error appears saying ' Error in Alignment Parsing:Expected W:(abcd...) (at char 18), (line:2, col:1)'. I don't know whats wrong with this.

Any help is appreciated.
 I have attached my phylip file as well as my .cfg file.

Thank you

Dear Kunal,

The problem is that your alignment is not in phylip format. Please follow the instructions on page 11 of the manual to fix this.

Cheers,

Rob

Dear Rob

Yeah I figured it out later. I used PAUP to export the file in phylip format, that's why it didn't work.
I am using Geneious now, it has solved that issue.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Cheers!
