Hi Andrei,
what version of Eyelink are you using? I've looked at your data and I'm not familiar with last column (shown in bold). Any idea what that might be?
5577704 984.1 540.0 2293.0 127.0 ... 0.0 -239.0 288.8 ...CF.B.RTB.R
cheers
Filip

Hi Filip, Yes I've wondering about that too - As far as version goes most I can tell you what is in the file header: VERSION: EYELINK II 1. Maybe it has something to do with fact that I used EDF2ASC for Linux which is not an official program supported by SR. cheers

Hi @andreifoldes, I'm sure you've long moved on from this problem, but in the off-chance it's still relevant the issue with your file was that it was missing a tab separator between the last and second-last columns (not your fault, it's a bug in how edf2asc exports remote mode data) and the eyelinker code that was meant to fix this didn't work on rows where the contents of the last column contained any letters. Anyway, I've fixed the issue in the latest CRAN version of eyelinker (0.2.0) and your file imports fine now!

If you have any other issues with the package, please raise them on the new project page here (I've taken over maintenance): https://github.com/a-hurst/eyelinker
