[Orca-users] Re: number of columns does not match column description

Orca prints the error message you're seeing.

If you try

	awk '{print NF}' percol-XXXX-YY-ZZ

does the number of columns differ through the file?  This is what Orca
complains about.

The columns do not need to match up exactly, but the number of whitespace
separated columns does.
