I downloaded the latest version of R (1.5.0) and issued a read.table() command that used to work with (1.3.1). Unfortunately I erased 1.3.1 from my hard drive after I downloaded R 1.5.0. Here's the command and the error message I get under 1.5.0:>golub1<-read.table("C:/Microarrays/code/data_set_ALL_AML_train.txt",sep="\t",q uote="",header=T,row.names=NULL) Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 6808 did not have 79 elements Any help will be appreciated!

Note that read.table changed in 1.4.0: see the NEWS file and its help page. Here's my guess: line 6808 contains a comment character #. There is a section on BUGS in the FAQ: please read it!

Hi, I don't think there is anything wrong with R in this case, it is the file. I had to do a bit of editing to read those mit files into R. The problem is that the tabs are not quite right. I fixed it by reading it into Gnumeric and rewriting. I can send you some R dumps of the files if you like.

This was confirmed as a comment character in the file, a new feature in 1.4.0.
