In the future you can examine the consequence kid various choices for 
parameters with something along the lines of 

table( count.fields( file= .. ,  ... ))

Thank you very much!

The quote and fill argument are not same for the two function. only 
change quote or fill can not make read.table() work.

If I understand correctly, read.delim() is just wrapped from read.table(),
why read.delim() works, but read.table() doesn't.

Thanks in advance.

Look at the default arguments to each, especially the quote argument.

[R] different between read.table and read.delim

2016-12-22 Thread Jinsong Zhao 

Hi there,

I have a data set file, called "ecotox.rep", which is a delimited file 
separated with "|".


When I tried to read the file with the following command,

> df <- read.table("ecotox.rep", sep = "|", header = TRUE, 
stringsAsFactors=FALSE)


I got the error messages:

Error in scan(file = file, what = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = 
dec,  :

  line 113 did not have 87 elements

However, when I read the file with the following command,

> df <- read.delim("ecotox.rep", sep = "|", header = TRUE, 
stringsAsFactors=FALSE)


I got a correct output.

If I understand correctly, read.delim() is just wrapped from 
read.table(), why read.delim() works, but read.table() doesn't.


Thanks in advance.

Best,
Jinsong
