[BioC] Error using Ringos readNimblegen

[Morten Hansen]

I have a problem with the Ringo package.

I am trying to read in the results from a 1.5Kb Human Promoter Array 
(CHP0150-HP1). I get the following error shown in below in the "Output" 
section.

The target.txt, spottype.txt and sessionInfo() is shown below the 
"Output" section.

The target.txt and spottype.txt look like this:
