Microarray analysis in R – target.txt,file,Sample info

Hi everyone,
This might be a very simple question.
I’m following this microarray workflow- www.semel.ucla.edu/sites/default/files/coppola-lab/CoppolaExampleCode.pdf.

These are the R codes I have done so far.
Microarray.MSCs <- read.delim(“/Volumes/EDEN/phd/Microarray MSCs.txt”, header=FALSE)

dim(Microarray.MSCs)
[1] 32408 14

head(Microarray.MSCs)

       V1        V2        V3        V4        V5        V6       V7        V8        V9

It says that I now need to read in the sample info on page 2. This is stored in the targets.txt file however I only have one file of data, an excel spreadsheet that I converted into a txt file.
Does anyone know what this means or how I might make one.

Also does anyone know how to remove the non-numeric-alike variable(s) in data frame: V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7, V8, V9, V10, V11, V12, V13.

Thankyou!
