VCF does not have correct column number

[Zepeng-Mu]

Hi, I am using checkVCF and got the error Line [ 1 ] does not have correct column number, exiting!. I checked the columns by reading first several lines into python and split them by \t, which gave me the same column number. I did not encounter this when processing other datasets. How can I fix this? Many thanks

So changing this line 212 fd = ln.strip().split() to split('\t') seem to solve my problem. Although I do not need to change the code for reading the header line.

Thanks for the report. The VCF specification requires \t instead of white space. So I used it in the script.
