Hi Sean, thanks for taking the time to answer this. That wasn't the problem, as far as I can tell. I've attached the input and the data file (significantly reduced). The package is sem.

I'm running the program sem on a Mac, but I'm getting a message that I think is quite general. The error reads Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : scan() expected 'a real', got '10652)' The 10652 is the sample size coming from a .csv file where I have header = TRUE. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Hi, David. It looks like you have a parenthesis next to the number; that would explain the error. If that isn't the issue, you'll want to include a self-contained example that reproduces the error. Hope that helps. Sean
David, Feel free to reply to the list; everyone learns by doing so. I'm just guessing, but it looks like the file that you sent is an excel spreadsheet. It was impossible to tell, though. You will need to save that as a text file (csv) from excel before you can read it into R using read.csv(). Your file should be entirely readable in textedit if you want to read it with read.csv(). If I am incorrect about the file type, then you'll need to send along a text version. Sean
