removing a word from a .vcf
Hi all,
I'm aware that this is probanly extremly simple but i can't for the life of me work out how to removing a specific word from a .vcf i am creating.
##fileformat=VCFv4.2
##reference=NC_000962.3
##ALT=<ID=NON_REF,Description="Represents any possible alternative allele at this location">
##INFO=<ID=VARIANT,TYPE=Float,Description="The Gene affected by SNP including the amino acid ref, alt and position">
#CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT
ChrI 3987201 . g t . . Gene=ddn;Variant=A120S
ChrI 2714177 . g t . . Gene=eis;Variant=L386I

ChrI 1473342 . g a . . Gene=rrs;Variant=g1497a
ChrI 1918625 . c g . . Gene=tlyA;Variant=P229R
I need to remove the word 'FORMAT' on the 5th line but not sure how specifically to do this?

Remove columns from the VCF file using vcftools
You could simply open the file in a proper editor (not Word) and delete the word. Assuming you just want to remove that single instance.
Or you could edit in place by
sed 's/FORMAT//' your_file.
