R help - Feb 2012 - Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : more columns than column names

Hey,

I just googled my error and many things came up.  I followed the leads and
read the ?read.delim page; I tried changing header = TRUE, and row.names TRUE--
but I've still been having trouble fixing it, so I would greatly
appreciate any help you can provide.  Here is my code:

rm(list=ls())
source("../../functions.R")

uncurated <- read.csv("../uncurated/GSE3141_full_pdata.csv", as.is
=TRUE,row.names=1)
celfile.dir <- "../../../DATA/GSE3141/RAW"

##initial creation of curated dataframe
curated <- initialCuratedDF(rownames(uncurated),
template.filename="template.csv")


The error occurs when I run this line:
> curated <- initialCuratedDF(rownames(uncurated),
template.filename="template.csv")
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote,
 :
  more columns than column name


I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Ben

What is initialCuratedDF? I'm not seeing it in any standard location
so there's no way to debug it...

Also see inline.

PLEASE don't ever do this -- it's potentially very destructive to
anyone who tries to copy your script to help you.
David also mentioned this when you posted the same code ~ 6 months ago.
