Hi I'm trying to get data from GEO through R but facing certain problem. Please help to get out of it...

> Study2 = "GSE55650"
> Gse55650dat = getGEO('GSE55650')
Found 1 file(s)
GSE55650_series_matrix.txt.gz
trying URL 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/SeriesMatrix/GSE55650/GSE55650_series_matrix.txt.gz'
ftp data connection made, file length 5499033 bytes
opened URL

But I got error here...

> Gse55650raw= getGEOSuppFiles(study2)
Error in substr(GEO, 1, 3) : object 'study2' not found

What does it mean?Can anyone please help me out in understanding it??

Late reply.

Your variable is called Study2, not study2. Note the capitalization.
