title: When using the gdcRNAtools package in R, how can I fix the error "line 2 did not have 9 element"?
body: <p>This error occurred repeatedly while attempting to use the function &quot;gdcRNAmerge&quot; from the package &quot;gdcRNAtools.&quot; Several solutions have been proposed, but the problem persists. I would appreciate it if anyone could assist me in resolving this matter. The error message is: Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 2 did not have 9 element)
  Below are the codes I used:</p>
  <pre><code>BiocManager::install(&quot;GDCRNATools&quot;)
  library(GDCRNATools)
  project &lt;- 'TCGA-STAD'
  rnadir &lt;- paste(project, 'RNAseq', sep='/')
  gdcRNADownload(project.id = 'TCGA-STAD',
  data.type = 'RNAseq',
  write.manifest = FALSE,
  method = 'gdc-client',
  directory = rnadir)
  metaMatrix.RNA &lt;- gdcParseMetadata(project.id = 'TCGA-STAD',
  data.type = 'RNAseq',
  write.meta = FALSE)
  table(metaMatrix.RNA$sample_type)
  table(metaMatrix.RNA$gender)
  metaMatrix.RNA &lt;- gdcFilterDuplicate(metaMatrix.RNA)
  metaMatrix.RNA &lt;- gdcFilterSampleType(metaMatrix.RNA)
  table(metaMatrix.RNA$sample_type)
  rnaCounts &lt;- gdcRNAMerge(metadata = metaMatrix.RNA,
  path = rnadir,
  organized = FALSE,
  data.type = 'RNAseq')
  </code></pre>
