Hi, No doubt I'm writing to the wrong R list and some cranky person will flame me as a reminder, but I seem to have this problem just on the Mac version of R. Here is the scenario. I am using SPSS on the PC to save a file as a .csv. I then bring this file into R and have it read the file as a .csv. When I look at the file in Mac Excel, it looks like a regular spreadsheet without commas as I might expect. When I run the model, I get the message
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : scan() expected 'a real', got '3196)' The 3196 is the sample size used for this analysis and it is correct. I can ask it to print the data and the correlation matrix, and everything seems fine. There are no additional characters (such as a parentheses) in the file. My students who are doing this analysis for a class assignment do not seem to have a problem on the PC, so I am wondering if anyone has encountered an incompatibility problems. Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this is the wrong list.
