error loading data from stringtie

[Pinolinoo]

Hi,

I have created several ballgown input files via Stringties
stringtie –e –B -p 8 -G stringtie_merged.gtf -o ...

and then tried to load them in R for Ballgown via
bg = ballgown(dataDir = "/fast/AG_Metzger/philipp/results/ballgown/IRF" , samplePattern = "Sample_E_" , pData = pheno_data)

IRF is the folder including several folders for the different samples. When I do this I get the output with the error:

Thu Sep 9 16:57:14 2021 Thu Sep 9 16:57:14 2021: Reading linking tables Thu Sep 9 16:57:18 2021: Reading intron data files Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : scan() expected 'an integer', got '0.00'

Has someone had the same issue and if so, how can I fix this?

Thanks for your help in advance!
