The following awk script converts sorted file to BED format that has 4 fields. You can update the script as you need...

# sortedToBed.awk
# Input : SORTED FILE
# Output : <Chromosome> <start position> <stop position> <strand>
# Usage
# awk -f sortedToBed.awk SORTED_INPUT_FILE_NAME > BED_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME

{OFS=" ";

len=length($9);

split($11, ref_chr, ".");

if ($13=="F") strand = "+";
else if($13=="R") strand = "-";
else strand = "None";

if (strand!="None")
print ref_chr[1], $12, $12+len, strand ;
}


Good Luck!
