That definitely looks like a problem with the quotes. I would strongly recommend against using MS Word as a text editor for this. You'd be better off using Notepad, or the built in script editor in R (both of which are pretty feeble editors, but adequate), or a better one like WinEdt, Tinn-R, Emacs, etc. Duncan Murdoch Thanks for all of your help, Danielle Danielle Dandreaux, Ph.D. Faculty Research Associate Arizona State University Department of Psychology Tempe, AZ 85287 480-965-3053 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
