The example lines you provide do not use 12 columns per number. The software that wrote that file is not writing it in the correct format. My guess is that software fails because of the 3 digit exponents (e.g "E-166”) — probably the writing software only fails to follow the 12 columns per number rule when you have 3-digit exponents. In single-precision (32-bit floats) you would never get 3 digit exponents and perhaps the error is that the writing program was converted from single precision to double precision.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 12, 2018, at 7:51 PM, ISHWOR POUDYAL <<a href="mailto:ishwor_p_19@yahoo.com" class="">ishwor_p_19@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div style="font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;" class=""><div class="">Hello All,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I try to convert electron density obtained from iterative phasing in *.xplor file format to view in the chimera.
