[R-pkg-devel] CITATION problem

[Kenny, Christopher]

The error is pointing you to 4:30, which is line 4 character 30. If you look at that, you have typed "" instead of ". As such, you have a new string opened which is never closed.

Subject: [R-pkg-devel] CITATION problem

Hello, All:


I'm getting "Warning: Invalid citation information in �inst/CITATION�:
Error in parse(con): 4:30: unexpected INCOMPLETE_STRING
   11: )
   12:
                                    ^"[1]


with my new package " sbgraves237/SS4Maddison" on GitHub.[2]


I may be foolish to bother with this, but a CITATION file is suggested
in Section 8.2 of Wickham and Bryan, R Packages, and I'm dutifully
trying to do what they suggest.


What am I doing wrong?


Thanks, Spencer Graves
