[BioC] [marray] Importing SMD files into marray

[Seth Falcon]

Hi Rene,

Could you report back with the version of R and Bioconductor packages
that you are using?  A good way to do this is:

sessionInfo()

A useful thing to do here is call traceback() and post the output.
That can help us help you if we don't immediately recognize the error
condition.  The traceback() function prints out a trace of the
functions that were called up until the error occurred.

I'm not familiar with read.SMD2, but based on the error message:

>> read.SMD2(fnames=fnames, path=datadir,DEBUG=TRUE)
> [1] "~/Desktop/28370.xls"
> [1] NA

What happens if you add skip=0 to the function call?

Best,
