htseq-count error

[sissi]

Hello,

I am trying to use htseq-count as follows:
htseq-count bin2_s_7_bwa.sam Mycobacterium_bovis_BCG_Pasteur_1173P2.gff

But I get the following error:
Error occured in line 10 of file /mnt/ScratchPool/rouamsl/TB_sequencing/ReadCount/Mycobacterium_bovis_BCG_Pasteur_1173P2.gff.
Error: The attribute string seems to contain mismatched quotes.
[Exception type: ValueError, raised in __init__.py:168]

My .gff file looks like this:
##gff-version 3
#!gff-spec-version 1.20
#!processor NCBI annotwriter
##sequence-region NC_008769.1 1 4374522

I found a similar post on the forum at

http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9524

But it was not solved! And it was using gtf files (and not gff).

I downloaded my .gff file as follows (from the NCBI website):
wget --timestamping 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Bacteria/Mycobacterium_bovis_BCG_Pasteur_1173P2_uid58781/NC_008769.gff' -O Mycobacterium_bovis_BCG_Pasteur_1173P2.gff

Thank you for your help!
