Thanks for your reply, I chose to use scan here. So can I ask another
question, which function works faster, scan or read.table?
read.table calls scan, and the two functions do different jobs.
read.table reads in a data frame.
scan reads a vector or list
I have a problem about reading data into R. There is a \n
between each pair of data, like:
-155.65
-155.77
-155.40
-155.46
-155.52
-155.34
...
Could anyone tell me how to read in such data? Thanks!
Rui
scan has no problem with blank lines. read.table has
an argument that controls how it handles blank lines
and the default setting is to ignore them.
