Hello Gurus,

I'm using one of the function, i.e. extractModelParameters, from the 
MplusAutomation package to read parameters fromMplus out files into R. I have 
360 cells and each cell has several out files (max. 100). I'm extracting the 
model parameters from each cell and doing subsequent calculations, primarily, on 
'est.' column. The following code demonstrates how I'm extracting the parameters 
and referencing the est. column:

CurrentDir = 
paste("D:/Dissertation/Mplus_Output_2Class_LGMM/",a,"-",b,"-",c,"-",d,"-",e,"-",f,
 sep="")
modelResults <- extractModelParameters(CurrentDir, recursive=FALSE,
dropDimensions=TRUE)
numReps = length(list.files(CurrentDir, pattern="*.out"))

after the above code is executed, 'modelResults' has all the data from the out 
files as different elements of the returned list. I'm accessing est. column from 
each element in the following way:

for (g in 1:numReps)
MeansTempC1[counterC1]  <- modelResults[[g]]$est[31]

I'm able to get the values from the est. column successfully for 359 cells which 
consist of 29532  out files. For just 1 particular cell, when I try to access 
the est. column or any other column in that out file, i.e. est_se or 
paramHeader, i get the value of NULL and I'm not able to figure out why. The 
same code is working for 29532 out files but not for 70 files in that 1 cell. I 
would really appreciate if you can assist me troubleshoot this issue. I have 
been working on this problem since last Sunday and after spending 6 days I still 
not able to figure out the problem.

Your help is truly appreciated.

Regards
Vaib
