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
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.
