Newbie question ... I am looking something equivalent to read.delim but which accepts a text line as parameter instead of a file input.
Below is my problem, I'm unable to get the exact output which is a simple data frame of the data where the delimiter exists ... coming quite close though I have a data frame with 10 lines called MF_Data > MF_Data [1:10] [1] "Scheme Code;Scheme Name;Net Asset Value;Repurchase Price;Sale Price;Date" [2] "" [3] "Open Ended Schemes ( Liquid )" [4] "" [5] "" [6] "AIG Global Investment Group Mutual Fund" [7] "106506;AIG India Liquid Fund-Institutional Plan-Daily Dividend Option;1001.0000;1001.0000;1001.0000;02-Oct-2010" [8] "106511;AIG India Liquid Fund-Institutional Plan-Growth Option;1210.4612;1210.4612;1210.4612;02-Oct-2010" [9] "106507;AIG India Liquid Fund-Institutional Plan-Weekly Dividend Option;1001.8765;1001.8765;1001.8765;02-Oct-2010" [10] "106503;AIG India Liquid Fund-Retail Plan-DailyDividend Option;1001.0000;1001.0000;1001.0000;02-Oct-2010" Now for the lines below .. they are delimted by ; ... I am using tempTxt <- MF_Data[7] MF_Data_F <- unlist(strsplit(tempTxt,";", fixed = TRUE)) tempTxt <- MF_Data[8] MF_Data_F1 <- unlist(strsplit(tempTxt,";", fixed = TRUE)) MF_Data_F <- rbind(MF_Data_F,MF_Data_F1) But MF_Data_F is not a simple 2X6 data frame which is what I want ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
