Downloading promoter sequences from UCSC in bed format

Question

[Jamie Watson]

Hi,

I need to get promoter coordinates in human genome from hg19 assembly. I have used UCSC table browser to obtain these promoters. However, the bed file I got only had 3 columns. How can I get 9 additional column too as mentioned here:

BED format requires only first three columns. So the file you got is in proper BED format.
