This is caused by an invalid character in the data from NCBI. I have contacted them to fix the problem. In the meantime, you can try: u = getGEO('GSE1106') This will grab the GSEMatrix file which is apparently unaffected. Sean

One has to love the GEO staff. They've already fixed the problem. Thanks for the report, Reema.

Sorry to pick up an old thread here, but I'm having the same issue, and also unable to find much of an answer after some searching.

Thanks for any and all help!

I'm running the command below

getGEO('GSE3118')

In the following setting

You will need to give us more than that to go on. This works for me:
