The problem is, if I use read.table I get "Error in read.table("HeatLow_maphhs000.19940101010000") : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed"
if I try "table<-read.table("HeatLow_maphhs000.19940101010000",sep=" ")" Then I get: Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 1 did not have 7 elements Because the first 4 lines in the file will always read something like: "DSAA 64 64 0.5000000E+04 0.6350000E+06 0.5000000E+04 0.6350000E+06 -0.2328914E+02 0.2786890E+03" Obviously I am doing somethin incorrectly with the read.table input. But being a very new user my R understanding is still fairly limited. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/reading-surfer-files-tp1566943p1566957.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
