Thanks, I'm not sure why it wasn't saved as a .csv. I posted it to the R Mac list and the general R list because in the past when I've posted to the R Mac list I was told it wasn't a R question. Because this problem didn't appear with the windows verson of R, I wasn't sure which list was appropriate. There was no intention to be inconsiderate.

I'm sending the input and a much smaller file. It's in .csv format. The input is for the Mac, and I'm beginning to think it might be a Mac issue. The program input lines come from John Fox's program sem The test.csv file isn't a csv file (which is a text format, with comma separated columns). It looks like your spreadsheet let you name it with extension .csv, but didn't save it in that format. By the way, posting the same question 6 minutes apart on two mailing lists is quite inconsiderate; please don't do that.

The error reads Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : scan() expected 'a real', got '10652)' The 10652 is the sample size coming from a .csv file where I have header = TRUE. It appears to be finding a parenthesis too. That's not a real. Duncan Murdoch References 1.
