External Email - Use Caution

No worries, I'll try to figure it out. Does anyone else have any ideas on what might be wrong?

Hope everyone is safe and well! Alex Job

There is some rogue character after the "0" in "Class 0". If you run od -c fsgd_file.fsgd It comes out as 312. I have no idea what it is

Dear Freesurfer experts,

I'm having a persistent error with mri_glimfit. The fsgd file isn't being read correctly, despite following the exact requirements of the wiki. Also, the output mentions this "carriage returns warning", and despite running this conversion: cat fsgd_file.fsgd | sed 's/\r/\n/g' > new.fsgd_file.fsgd, the *new fsgd still doesn't work* (this code somehow alters the Group Descriptor at the top of the file, giving another error). I've attached my fsgd file (that I used while running the code below) Also, please see the full error of the glim_fit below:

WARNING: carriage returns have been detected in file fsgd_file.fsgd

Was it created on a Windows computer?

This may cause an error in reading the FSGD file.

If so, try running:

cat fsgd_file.fsgd | sed 's/\r/\n/g' > new.fsgd_file.fsgd

Then use new.fsgd_file.fsgd

Possible problem with experimental design:

Check for duplicate entries and/or lack of range of

continuous variables within a class.

If you seek help with this problem, make sure to send:

1. Your command line:

mri_glmfit.bin --y fsgd_RH_thickness.mgh --fsgd fsgd_file.fsgd dods

--C contrasts.mtx --surf fsaverage rh --glmdir rhBAP_thickness.glmdir

2. The FSGD file (if using one)

3. And the design matrix above

Thanks!
