Hello I have to import 2 txt files into R. 1 file contains the data and the other contains the header, column headings, datatypes and labels for the data.
I have 2 problems: 1) my data file has mixed type of data e.g. 1 2 3 4 5 3-5 02/04/06 3 4 5 and so on, the data file is tab separated. when I import it, the data is getting stored in one single variable say V1. I need to separate it into rows and columns. how do I this? Which commands in R would be useful for the same? 2) The other file is also tab separated. the 6 lines contains header and introduction as in the name of the dataset, year, etc. and then column names its datatypes and labels. After importing the data in this file also gets stored in one single variable. I need to separate it into rows and columns. how do I this? Which commands in R would be useful for the same? Thank you in advance Regards Sunita -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Importing-data-into-R-and-combining-2-files-tp23545291p23545291.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
