Strand orientation from VCF file

[Nino]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can get the strand orientation of each call made on a snp.vcf file. Does anyone know of a way?

In the end I am looking for this in one file complete file.
chr strt end ref alt strnd_orient(+/-) associated_gene

I have tried using this Bedtools command but was not successful
intersectBed -a Benign.vcf -b ucscRetro_hg19.bed -header -wao 1> test


Thanks,
Nino

I think all reported calls are assumed to be on the forward strand in VCF specification.
