I'm running R 2.13 on Ubuntu 10.10 I have a data set which is comprised of character strings.
site = readLines('http://www.census.gov/tiger/tms/gazetteer/zips.txt') dat <- c("01, 35004, AL, ACMAR, 86.51557, 33.584132, 6055, 0.001499") dat I want to loop through the data and construct a data frame with the zip code, state abbreviation, and city name in seperate columns. Given the size of this data set, I was wondering if there was an efficient way to get the desired results.
