Hi Ben,

What kind of error are you getting at this point? Are you still getting the following:

An exception has been thrown

number of rows in design matrix doesn't match number of "time points" in input data!

What is the output of wc -l on the design.txt ? From the file you sent, it looks like it should be 78, which is what I get on your file. This also would appear to match the fslinfo output.

I've used Excel plenty of times to create complex design matrices without issue, so I'm a little bit at a loss to understand what's going wrong in your case. I've copied directly from Excel into a Unix-based text editor (e.g. vim).

Hi Niels,

Believe it or not, still no luck. When I run the command you gave to verify after performing the fix, the output is no different than when I ran “file” prior to the fix. Here’s the commands and output I ran, directly copy-pasted from terminal.

benchernoffsmbp:Raw_FA bchernof$ file design.txt

design.txt: ASCII text

benchernoffsmbp:Raw_FA bchernof$ tr -d '\r' < design.txt > design_fixed.txt

benchernoffsmbp:Raw_FA bchernof$ file design_fixed.txt

design_fixed.txt: ASCII text

As you can see, the output is “ASCII text” both times. Not sure if this would make a difference but here’s my system info: Mac OS 10.12.5. For bash: GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apply-darwin16)

It would be great if I could create these text files correctly from the start, because I will inevitably be using sever. If the data need to be copy pasted because there are a large number of rows, what is the optimal program to copy from (excel, MATLAB, etc.) if it matters, and then once in plain-text format in text-edit, which encoding should I select when I save it?

Thanks for bearing with me!
