What does the following messenge mean after I ran runChicago.R

[Mai Xu]

I got the following error messenger after running runChicago.R-could anyone please let me know what it means? It was killed right after starting and looks like one file may have a bad format, but which one? All the design files and input file were genegrated by Chicago pipeline. Thank you!

***runChicago.R

Error in (function (object, class, nargs) :
Invalid argument value: expecting numeric but got: (1e+06).
Calls: parse_args -> mapply -> <Anonymous>

It is likely that one of your bed-like files contains integers that have been automatically converted to a scientific number. Try running grep "1e+06" <filename> on files that you use as an input for runChicago.R to find which file has the fault.

I hope this will help you

Thanks, Adrija! We realized this problem and changed the R profile setting to accommodate this problem.

Hi Mai what solution did you use, I tried playing with (scipen = 999) but it didn't help.

Hi Adrija, In my bed like files I didn't see any “1e+06”

[Mai Xu]

Here is the command line I used to solve the problem:

echo "options(scipen=999)" >>~/.Rprofile

Hope that helps!
