Hi,

It seems some data has been added to the EST data table in UCSC that GenomicFeatures cannot parse.
Download the all_est table ... Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings,  : 
  line 4587019 did not have 22 elements

The relevant lines of the session information are :

R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)
Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit)

other attached packages:
[1] GenomicFeatures_1.8.1

- Dario.

I e-mailed UCSC and they said the preferred way is to download by FTP. Which means more lines of code to parse the text file into columns, then split the exons and widths columns up to be able to make GRanges.
