I think this is a neat tool and was just trying it out today. I am curious about one potential issue. I've noticed if the first 3 fields are separated by tab but any subsequent fields are separated by another delimiter (e.g. space) then bedqc will give green checks all around but incorrectly identify the file as having 3 fields. Files where the first 4 fields are delimited by tabs but with space delimitation afterwards seem to run through bedtools intersect (and I assume other functions) fine so this may rarely be an issue but I assume inconsistent delimitation of this type may happen often (like appending extra columns to a bed file) and it may help for bedqc to explicitly report something like this. I apologize if I'm simply missing something though or if this is a trivial point.
