imcombine warning!

Dear iraf users,
I was hoping that someone might be able to help my puzzlement. I'm what you would call a novice of novices to the iraf world.
My problem is that I have a stack of images that I have dark and sky subtracted, flat fielded and am now trying to combine into nine individual images.
Using the <imcombine> package the only parameter that I have changed is the <combine> which I have set to equal median.
Every time I try to combine images, the following error comes up:
cl> imcombine @all_1
List of output images: 1.fits
3690_102_37_10_29_13_261)e (3690_102_37_10_29_03_021_965_120urad_F_OD0.tgt.fits
Warning: Can't make temporary stack images
cl>
Any insight as to what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Jo

Hello Jo,
I believe your problem is with the contents of the file all_1. The file must contain one image name per line and only the image name. If you are still having problems send the contents of that file.
Yours,
Frank Valdes

Thanks for your reply Valdes.
I discovered what the problem was though, and now feel very foolish for it :oops:
As the list of images I had was so long, I was splitting them up in excel and then copying and pasting them to iraf's output textfiles. This introduced characters "<m>" infront of each image's name which iraf didn't like.
I should have just used nedit all along!
