Folks: Suppose I wish to input a text file with variable length lines and possible whitespace as is and then parse the resulting character vector in R. Each line of text is terminated with "\n" (newline character).
Is there any reason to prefer one or the other of: scan (filename, what ="a",sep ="\n") ##or readLines(filename) If it makes a difference, I'm on Windows. Many thanks for any advice/insight. -- Best, Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics Internal Contact Info: Phone: 467-7374 Website: http://pharmadevelopment.roche.com/index/pdb/pdb-functional-groups/pdb-biostatistics/pdb-ncb-home.htm ______________________________________________ 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.
