R2.7.1, WinXP
Hi,
My question is probably easy to answer, but I can't seem to solve it myself.
I need to read in a large number of datasets that were generated by
another (old) software program. Each data file contains a bunch of
additional code generated by the external software. It lists the data
per respondent. So first the data for respondent 1, then the data for
respondent 2, et cetera.
After the data for the final respondent, the file contains a , followed
by some zeroes. R now needs to read the data until the symbol.
However, whenever it encounters the symbol it interprets it as a quit
command! So, rather than continuing, R wants to quit on me.
How can I make R see the symbol as just a particular symbol and NOT as
the command to q()?
Thanks, Roger
ps. I hope the symbol is readable in the various email programs
