I am running a set of data (DNA coding seqs, alignments done in mega x) in Nexus format. I used mrbayes template (by Barry G hall, Utility program in Mr bayes) to build my block. However, It doesn't execute the block, keeps giving me the error below:
rBayes > exe C:\bin\allseq.bay.txt
Executing file "C:\bin\allseq.bay.txt"
DOS line termination
Longest line length = 5011
Parsing file
Expecting NEXUS formatted file
Reading taxa block
Allocated taxon set
Defining new set of 154 taxa
Expecting ' or '
Instead found '|' in command 'Taxlabels'
The error occurred when reading char. 17-17 on line 6
in the file 'C:\bin\allseq.bay.txt'
Returning execution to command line ...
Error in command "Execute"
I can't find the error in character 17-17- line 6!
Any help would be appreciated.

I think it maybe sth related to the Nexus format file that I am using as template. Now I am trying to convert my file to .nxs using Fastaconvert but the software is not getting open! It seems to starting to open and then dies!!!! I don't know how to use Fastaconvert.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
Hello,
Probably you already found a way to get the correct nexus format file for MrBayes, but in case you did not, you should try using ClustalW to get the .nxs file. Here it is the URL to download it http://www.clustal.org/clustal2/
Open ClustalW>File>Load Sequences>Save Sequence As> Select the nexus format.
I hope it helps you (or another person with the same question around here!)
