[Vcftools-help] VCF.pm does not accespt lower case bases

[Timothee C. <tc...@st...>]

Hi all,
I ran into a problem today where merge-vcf was crashing on my file 
saying it can't parse the genotype information.
after looking into the code I figured that it comes from the fact that 
only upper case bases are accepted in the regex.
Is this part of the VCF specification?
I changed the regex in the VCF 4.0 class definition so it doesn't crash 
anymore but it's probably not the best way.
