Hi All, I would like to input a .txt file by using read.table()
the file data.txt: Name ID IMAGE:1000031 suid=115221 IMAGE:1000208 51265 IMAGE:1000334 64770 IMAGE:1000365 suid=99969 IMAGE:1000500 55421 IMAGE:1000875 64770 IMAGE:1000892 399655 IMAGE:1000942 suid=112379 IMAGE:1007141 5001 IMAGE:1007150 55 IMAGE:1007164 suid=117508 IMAGE:1007167 suid=102504 when I use > data <- read.table("data.txt", sep="\t", header = TRUE) > data Name ID 1 IMAGE:1000031 suid=115221 2 IMAGE:1000208 51265 3 IMAGE:1000334 64770 4 IMAGE:1000365 suid=99969 5 IMAGE:1000500 55421 6 IMAGE:1000875 64770 7 IMAGE:1000892 399655 8 IMAGE:1000942 suid=112379 9 IMAGE:1007141 5001 10 IMAGE:1007150 55 11 IMAGE:1007164 suid=117508 12 IMAGE:1007167 suid=102504 it seems perfectly fine, however, when I get access to data[1,1] ... > data[1,1] [1] IMAGE:1000031 12 Levels: IMAGE:1000031 IMAGE:1000208 IMAGE:1000334 ... IMAGE:1007167 How could I get rid of all the Levels in ALL of the entries. It bothers me since when I have to assign certain values from data to a new matrix b by: > b <- matrix(0,1,2) > b[1,1] <- data[1,1] > b[1,1] 1 b[1,1] is 1 instead of the value IMAGE:1000031 I want Greatly Appreciate for any help Thanks, Alex- [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
