Error from running "reporttab"

After filling the missing peaks, I ran the following command to analyze my dataset.

Code: [Select]
> reporttab <- diffreport(xset3, "Prestudy", "Poststudy", "HopkTrial_1", 10, metlin=0.15, h=480, w=640)

Unfortunately, XCMS comes back with the following message:

Quote
Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
  cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
  cannot open file 'HopkTrial_1.tsv': Permission denied

Is there any one who can help me define the reasons for the error message?  Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Best wishes,

Jeff

Jeff,

The directory you're in you don't have permission to write a file. In unix/Linux just write to you're home directory so you can use

Code: [Select]
reporttab <- diffreport(xset3, "Prestudy", "Poststudy", file="~/HopkTrial_1", 10, metlin=0.15, h=480, w=640)

In windows the easiest way is to change directory to your use the file tab and then rerun the command. Should work but let us know.
