Dear all, I am having trouble reading in some FCS files into a flow core session using the flowSet function. When I try to read the files in individually using the read.FCS command I have no problems. Here's my code: files.pico<-list.files('~/Documents/Flow Cytometry/Picoplankton', all.files=TRUE, full.names=TRUE) set.pico<-read.flowSet(files.pico) This gives he follow error message: Error in if (!version %in% c("FCS2.0", "FCS3.0")) stop("This does not seem to be a valid FCS2.0 or FCS3.0 file") : argument is of length zero However, when I load in one of the files using read.FCS it works fine, which suggests that my files which have come from BD cell quest pro are indeed valid. p1<-read.FCS('~/Documents/Flow Cytometry/Picoplankton/01_P01.124', transform='scale', alter.names=TRUE) Any ideas as to what might be causing the problem?

Hi Gabriel, It sounds to me that at least one of the files in your folder "~/Documents/Flow Cytometry/Picoplankton" is not valid a FCS file. Please double check this folder,particularly for filename extensions. If you still can't find the problematic file, let us know, and we will try to create an issue for flowCore to print out more information in that error message to help us troubleshoot.
