Hi, rdalbanus，thanks for providing such a good tool.

Hi @zyyyyy11144, thank you so much for using our tool! There might be something off with the invocation based on the errors thrown, but I cannot find anything explicitly wrong in your command.

Can you run the examples from the documentation in your data without any errors? E.g. make_cut_matrix -d -b '(36-149 150-324 325-400 1)' input.bam motif.bed.

If so, then one of your flags is causing the issue - I'd try adding them one by one to the example to see where it breaks.

If not, then it might be something with your input data. In that case:

1. Can you post the first 5 lines of the motif bed file?
2. What is the total number of lines in the motif bed file?
3. Is your bed file tab-separated? This may seem like a dumb question, but sometimes, the tabs are converted to spaces depending on how you process your files.
