Hi, Suppose I have the following tabular data:
1729_at | TRADD | TNFRSF1A-associated via death domain | protein-coding 1773_at | FNTB | farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, beta | protein-coding 177_at | PLD1 | phospholipase D1, phosphatidylcholine-specific | protein-coding What is the right separator used for read.table function? I tried this: dat <- read.table("geo2geneinfo_bymodel.txt", sep = "|") print(dat) It doesn't seem to work. It flattens the table above into just two columns meaning only contain $V1 and $V2. sep=" | " also won't work. Please advice. -- Gundala Viswanath ______________________________________________ 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.
