everytime i try to read in data i get the following error: Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 3 did not have 5 elements
it was my understanding it wasn't necessary to specifiy all defaults. The bizarre thing is this error comes from using read.table. When I use scan I get the following error: Error in scan("tree.dat") : "scan" expected a real, got "<!DOCTYPE" I have checked my work directory and the file i',m trying to read is there. Any ideas?
