Dear All, I have a file data.txt as follows:
Name_1,A,B,C Name_2,E,F Name_3,I,J,I,K,L,M I will read this with: my_data<- read.csv("data.txt",header=FALSE,col.names=paste0("V", seq(1:10)),fill=TRUE) Then the file will have 10 columns. I am assuming that each row in data.txt will have at the max 10 entries. Note: Here each row will have a different number of columns in data.txt but each row will have 10 ( some trailing blank columns ) columns. My query is how can I keep only the unique elements in each row? For example: I want the row 3 to be Name_3,I,J,K,L,M Please note I don't want the 2nd I to appear. How can I do this?
