I have attached a file downloaded from database mirWalk. Apparently it is in XLS format (this is the extension of the downloaded file). However, I cannot open it with OpenOffife spreadsheet program and Excel itself cannot separate the columns as it does when a true XLS file is loaded.
I tried to read the attached downloaded file through R function "read.xls" and got the following message > read.xls("Prostatic_Neoplasm-miRNAs.Disease-GenesTargets.xls") Error in xls2sep(xls, sheet, verbose = verbose, ..., method = method, : Unable to read translated csv file '/tmp/RtmpPIe3vo/file15d9580e.csv'. Error in file.exists(tfn) : invalid 'file' argument I have tried reading the file through "read.table" which has now been hanging for more than 15 minutes. Please, advice. Thank you in advance.
