Hi,
I want to read a ascii-file using the function read.table.
With 'skip' and 'nrows' I can select the rows to read from this file.
Is there a way to select columns (in the selected rows)?
Thanks,

Sounds like you have imported the data, perhaps using 'header = TRUE'
either without an actual header

You could try setting 'check.names = FALSE' to see what you end up with

I think the colClasses argument to read.table() is what you need.
Either that, or explicitly cast columns in the data.frame that's
returned by read.table(). That's how you get data types that aren't
directly supported by read.table(), like various date formats.

You can do it manually by reading in the headers separately:
headers - read.table(test, header = FALSE, nrow = 1, sep = ;, as.is = TRUE)
read.table(test, header = FALSE, skip = 1, sep = ;, col.names = headers)

I'm sure Perl will do nicely, but you can also use readLines and grep() or
regexpr() the result in R as you would in Perl to find where the problem
lies. ?nchar can also help to find a non-printing character that may be
messing you up.

You might also try read.delim() which has options set specifically to

Blah.
*TAB-delimited* files of course. read.csv() for the other ones.

I am wondering if it is possible to read.table repeatedly from a list
of file names into a new list of table names.
For example:
filenames - list.files()
then with a function like
rf - function(i) {
word??(filename[i]) - read.table(filenames[i]) }
I can't seem to find a function like word??
The solution is in section 7.21 of the R FAQ. BTW, `rf' is a built-in R
function for generating random numbers from an F distribution, so better use
some other name.

I'm running R version 1.9.0 on Mac OS 10.3.5. I have created text
files with data that I need to access from R. When I use the
read.table command, I get the warning message: cannot open file
These text files DO work on a Mac with a previous version of R.

Hallo,
can someone please help me.
I have a proplem reading a file with more that one
rows.
e.g I used the function:
p-read.table(file=FILENAME , header=TRUE,sep=;)
and later used the data.Frame() function.
It functions when the file has only a row of
variables.
When I insert the second row I
1 - 100 of 120 matches
