Error message Wilf  2014-06-25 10:46
 
Hi,

I think I am doing something silly. I am wanting to use SProCoP and keep getting the following error message:
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
  line 285 did not have 8 elements
Calls: tryCatch ... tryCatchList -> parse.cmdline -> read.table -> scan
Execution halted
Finished!

Could you help please.

All the best

Andrew

Hi Andrew -

 My inclination is that there is an NA value somewhere in your results file. If there is an NA in the results file sprocop will not run. My suggestion would be to go to file...export..report..sprocop input..and look for any missing data points and fix them by either deleting or fixing the integration in skyline. Also if you are monitoring a 2+ and 3+ charge state from a single peptide you will get a similar error. just delete one of the charge states for that particular peptide. These will be fixed in the next version. Please let me know if one of these does not fix your problem.

Hi Michael,

The error message was being generated because of the N/A, however I am now getting:

Error in dim(PA) = c(L, L2) :
  dims [product 236] do not match the length of object [288]
Calls: tryCatch -> tryCatchList -> parse.cmdline
Execution halted

Finished!

Sorry

Thanks for your help

Theres not a 2+ and 3+ charge state for a particular peptide? Could you zip the skyline file and email it to me? File - share Email address: msberema@ncsu.edu

Thanks

Hi Andrew

For each peptide there can be only one precursor form. If this is not the problem please send me the Skyline file and I will have a look. In the new version this will not be the case.

Thanks
Michael
