Hello again,
I am simply trying to import a rectangular table of strings. The
table's dimensions are 1990 x 2, yet my read.table() command can only find
362 of the rows (and they're not the first 362). I would've taken the time
to figure out how to use scan, readLines, or some other tool that can read
in character strings, and then parse and input to a table, but that seems
like overkill, and probably it would be good to understand what's wrong with
my text file.
The file is here.
https://regtransfers-sth-se.diino.com/download/jonsleepy/_mydropbox_/finalInput.xls
The code is here:
temp <- as.matrix(read.table('finalInput.xls', header=FALSE, sep = "\t"))
dim(temp) #expect 1990 x 2; but find 362 x 2
Sorry to require a download (this probably won't make people happy), but
since my problem is file-specific, the file is needed for troubleshooting.
I generated it with some grep, gawk commands using Cygwin in a Windows
environment (though subsequently converted it to Windows format - R loads it
exactly the same way, regardless of whether it's in linux or windows format)
Regards,
Jonathan
