I don't if anyone is using MAnorm, or has used it before. But I have some problems with it.

I follow the instruction on README.txt, but get error codes

StepI: clean input

awk: illegal field $(U), name "1"
 input record number 978, file
 source line number 2

StepII: classify common or unique peaks

Error: Unable to open file peak1.bed. Exiting.
....

StepIII: count peak read

Error: The requested file (read1.bed) could not be opened. Error message: (No such file or directory). Exiting!

​Here is my input files info:

​$ls

MAnorm.r MAnorm.sh Rcommand.out peak_R1.bed peak_R2.bed reads_R1.bed reads_R2.bed​

​$head peak_R1.bed

​Any idea why does MAnorm cannot open my file?

Thank you very much!​
