Issue with Loading Files on Mac

Hello,

I am very new to Igor programming so please bare with me. My program first must load files. I am using other examples of macros written by previous colleagues and I am simply just trying to run their loading programs. However, when I go to load very simply two column data that was created in text file by our GCD, a window pops up saying that "no data can be found in file". My advisor said that it's probably because the file name is too long and Macs tend to have an issue with that. But even when I shortened the file name to one character, the error still appears. These loading programs work fine on PCs but it is not working for my Mac. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

If you have not already done it, you need to do the first half of the Igor guided tour. It is essential for coming up to speed and will save you a lot of time. Choose Help->Getting Started.

Most likely you are using "Load General Text" and your file is not suitable. Execute this to read the help so that you understand what the different file loading routines do. This will help you diagnose the problem.
