[R] Novice question about getting data into R

[schmaltz]

Dear Professor Daalgard,

I beginning to participate in one research of statiscal modelling of
translators'activity data, and recently install R and try to generate the
one Translation Progress Graph, as my colleagues do (with sucess), but in my
Windows platform was found the error below. According R'FAQs, it seems to be
very common error, as I'm not even familiar with the program R and even with
the ProGra, could you help me? Please!

Note: the Translation Progress Graph is compost by quintuple data {S, T, A,
F, K} for Source and Target Text, Alignment, Fixation and Keyboar data,
respectively.

Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : 
line 38 did not have 10 elements

Note: We try to delete the line 38, and the program results in another line
error. Even delete all lines after, the some error occur. I think is not one
encoding error, due the fact my colleague use Linux, and I Windows.
