Hello,

Like Ivan said, use read.table to read in the data and then, to select only some of the columns you can use several ways.


data_30min <- read.table(text = "
1  19710629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.3 at interval beginning 19701126 010326
2  19720629 080000(PARTIAL)       33.8 at interval beginning 19720517 144507
3  19730629 080000(PARTIAL)       32.2 at interval beginning 19720910 135747
4  19740629 080000(PARTIAL)       38.9 at interval beginning 19731003 124849
5  19750629 080000                43.3 at interval beginning 19750105 173500
6  19760629 080000(PARTIAL)      101.5 at interval beginning 19750809 111800
7  19770629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.4 at interval beginning 19760917 141200
8  19780629 080000                38.5 at interval beginning 19780508 195400
9  19790629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.0 at interval beginning 19790602 142222
10 19800629 080000(PARTIAL)       94.6 at interval beginning 19800329 063532
")

# Simple
data_30min[, c(2, 4, 8)]

# More elaborate, but equivalent
subset(data_30min, select = c("V2", "V4", "V8"))



Hope this helps,

Dear r-users,

Originally my data is in notepad.  I use data.frame(...) to convert the data 
into columns but it has no header.  The data below is what I got in R.  I would 
like to extract these data:

19710629        39.3  19701126
19720629        33.8  19720517
...
when I use data2_30min[1, cbind(1,3,5)] command the result is NULL.

Then I tried data2_30min[1], it gives me the whole set of data.  I suspect the 
data is stored in a cell.

My question is, how do I split the data from dataframe into some columns which 
separating the data by spaces.  Many examples given on how to split the data 
with the header.

The codes and data are given below.  Thank you so much for your help.

head(data_30min,10); tail(data_30min,10)
data2_30min <- data.frame(data_30min)
head(data2_30min,10); tail(data2_30min,10)
head(data_30min,10); tail(data_30min,10)
data2_30min[1]

                                                                   data_30min
1  19710629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.3 at interval beginning 19701126 010326
2  19720629 080000(PARTIAL)       33.8 at interval beginning 19720517 144507
3  19730629 080000(PARTIAL)       32.2 at interval beginning 19720910 135747
4  19740629 080000(PARTIAL)       38.9 at interval beginning 19731003 124849
5  19750629 080000                43.3 at interval beginning 19750105 173500

7  19770629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.4 at interval beginning 19760917 141200
8  19780629 080000                38.5 at interval beginning 19780508 195400
9  19790629 080000(PARTIAL)       39.0 at interval beginning 19790602 142222
10 19800629 080000(PARTIAL)       94.6 at interval beginning 19800329 063532
