Hello again, as already mentioned in the thread 'Help with GenePix files' the import of my genepix files using the marray package failed. With this post, I am sending the output of sessionInfo() and traceback() just after getting the error message. Thanks a lot for any suggestion and best wishes, Heike ################################################################# > myTargetsa <- read.marrayInfo(file.path(data.dir, "targeta.txt")) > galinfo<-read.Galfile("3kArray5.gal") > data<-read.GenePix(c("a.gpr","ar.gpr"),targets=myTargetsa,layout=galin fo$layout,gnames=galinfo$gnames,) Reading ... a.gpr Error in if (skip > 0) readLines(file, skip) : missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed ################################################################# > traceback() 4: read.table(f, skip = skip2, header = TRUE, sep = sep, quote = quote, check.names = FALSE, as.is = TRUE, comment.char = "", nrows = nspots, ...) 3: read.marrayRaw(fnames = c("a.gpr", "ar.gpr"), name.Gf = "F532 Median", name.Gb = "B532 Median", name.Rf = "F635 Median", name.Rb = "B635 Median", name.W = "Flags", layout = <s4 object="" of="" class="" "marraylayout"="">, gnames = <s4 object="" of="" class="" "marrayinfo"="">, targets = <s4 object="" of="" class="" "marrayinfo"="">, notes = "GenePix Data", sep = "\t", quote = "\"", DEBUG = FALSE, path = NULL, skip = NULL, fill = TRUE) 2: do.call("read.marrayRaw", maRaw.args) 1: read.GenePix(c("a.gpr", "ar.gpr"), targets = myTargetsa, layout = galinfo$layout, gnames = galinfo$gnames, ) ################################################################# > sessionInfo() R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) i686-pc-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_COL LATE=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.I SO-8859-1;LC_PAPER=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHON E=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.ISO-8859-1;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base packages: [1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" "methods" [7] "base" other attached packages: marray limma "1.12.0" "2.8.1" -- Dr. Heike Pospisil | pospisil at zbh.uni-hamburg.de University of Hamburg | Center for Bioinformatics Bundesstrasse 43 | 20146 Hamburg, Germany phone:+49-40-42838-7303 | fax: +49-40-42838-7312

FYI I got this same error 13.5 years later. You may need to skip the lines until you reach the headers. Genepix files have many lines before header. Also @Jean Yee Hwa Yang, we might want to update documentation and add a note about this in the documentation. Even though function default is 'skip=NULL' it's not intuitive that it calls read.table and there is nothing about this in the documentation and so it's assumed marray takes care of this similar to how GEOquery::getGEO takes care of parsing the rma series files from the GEO database.

Hi Heike I am guessing there is a mismatch between the gal file and the gpr file you are reading in. Usually the first 5 columns of any gpr file is the same as the gal file. Please try the two options and let me know how you go Option 1 data = read.GenePix(fnames = c("a.gpr", "ar.gpr")) Option 2 myTargetsa <- read.marrayInfo(file.path(data.dir, "targeta.txt")) data = read.GenePix(targets = myTargetsa) Please also show me myTargetsa. If you have further problems, you are welcome to send me a link where I can download your gpr file and take a look.
