Read the error again.
Try to relate the information (keywords, identifiers etc.) given in the error to your program and find what might be wrong.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice so far. I have removed the slipwrite within the brackets and the program runs ok. I was wondering if this would effect my ability to write results to a txt file for example.

Well writing to a file would involve different APIs, I'd recommend starting at the Sun tutorial.
