Hi, You could remove it by: vec1<- c( "","1003PI_pilot0101", "1003PI_pilot0102","1003PI_pilot0103", "1003PI_pilot0104", "1003PI_pilot0105", "1003PI_pilot0107") vec1[vec1!=""] #[1] "1003PI_pilot0101" "1003PI_pilot0102" "1003PI_pilot0103" "1003PI_pilot0104" #[5] "1003PI_pilot0105" "1003PI_pilot0107" #or vec1[nchar(vec1)>0] #[1] "1003PI_pilot0101" "1003PI_pilot0102" "1003PI_pilot0103" "1003PI_pilot0104" #[5] "1003PI_pilot0105" "1003PI_pilot0107"
Without a reproducible example, it would be difficult to comment how you got that. A.K. Hello all, I am a super R novice, using it for work. I loaded a seemingly normal .csv file into R, and in one of the variables, a null vector was added. this is what it looks like. [1] "" "1003PI_pilot0101" "1003PI_pilot0102" "1003PI_pilot0103" "1003PI_pilot0104" "1003PI_pilot0105" "1003PI_pilot0107" However, when I check the head, it looks completely normal, and the first piece of data is "1003PI_pilot0101". How do I remove this null vector? And why is it there in the first place? There is nothing in the original .csv data file that indicates a blank or anything out of the ordinary. Sorry if this is a super dumb question. I just want to get my work done. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
