I am having trouble getting AFNI to read my stimfiles for 3ddeconvolve. After running the script I get the following error:

*+ WARNING: '-stim_times 1' didn't read any good times from file '/data/T32/Gollan_LexSwitch/LEX_logfiles/TG_B7_20170608.lex.EWO.1D'

My stim files look like this currently:

15 *
105
60
195
150
240

I added the asterisk to the first stim time so that it was not mistaken for global time. Do I need to add an asterisk after each stim time? I have 6 runs and there is exactly one stimulus per run? I also used the file_tool -test -infile command and got the following for each of the 6 stim files:

TG_B7_20170608.lex.SWO.1D has 0 bad characters

TG_B7_20170608.lex.SWO.1D file type: UNIX

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
