The issue is that textConnection() returns a connection object, but when you call read.dcf(), it takes the connection and closes it immediately. Then, when you try to use the result again with textConnection(header), the error occurs because all connections are already in use. You can fix this by closing the connection explicitly after reading from it, as shown in the code snippet: read.dcf(tc<-textConnection(header), all = TRUE) close(tc) This will ensure that the connection is closed before you try to use it again.

Understanding the Problem and Context The problem presented involves analyzing response time (RT) data from experiments, where each person completes a certain number of trials of various trial types. The goal is to create an outlier function that applies a standard deviation cutoff dependent on the number of trials analyzed. This approach is based on Van Selst and Jolicoeur’s 1994 method. The context of this problem is in the field of psychology, specifically in the study of reaction time tasks.
