Hi AFNI users,

I hope that this message finds you doing well! I have what I hope is a simple question. I am trying to run 3dttest++ including covariates. However, I am getting a fatal error when the script hits the -covariates flag. I've attached my 3dttest++ code, covariates table, and the associated error to this post. If you have any advice on what I may be doing wrong, I would very much appreciate your thoughts!

Thank you so much!

-Katie
