I am getting the following error on iMac running Mac OS 10.5.6; this occurs whenever I try to import a text file into R Commander: Error in splitCmd(command) : unbalanced quotes Thus, I am unable to import data into R Commander. Any suggestions as to how I might fix this error? I have gotten it many times with more than one installation of R 2.8.1 on this computer. Dwight Krehbiel Bethel College North Newton, KS 67117 USA

So can you tell us exactly what you did and what the resulting code in the code windows was and how the data file looks like? Does it contain unbalanced quotes, for example? Uwe Ligges

Dear Uwe, Thanks for trying to field this question, but the error is unlikely to be related to the data since splitCmd() is used internally to format commands generated by the Rcmdr so that they fit in the Script window. Unfortunately, the contents of the Script window are likely to be uninformative since the offending line won't have been displayed. Dwight: I've never seen this error, nor has anyone else reported it, and as you might imagine, importing a text file is a very common operation. Although I can't rule it out at this point, I suspect that if this were a bug in the Rcmdr, it would have surfaced before. Some more information about what you did might help. Commands generated by the Rcmdr shouldn't have unbalanced quotes unless the user enters them, e.g., in a text field. For example, might you have tried to place quotes around the name of the data set.
