Dear List, I have 30 data files with different numbers of lines (31 and 33) that I want to skip before reading the files. If I use the skip option I can only choose either to skip 31 or 33 lines. The data files with 31 lines have no blank rows between the lines and the header row. How can I read the files without manually checking which files have 31 respectively 33 lines ? The only text line I want to keep is the header. Thamks for your help, Tom for (i in 1:num.files) { a<-read.table(file=data[i], ,header=T,skip=31,sep='\t',na.strings="NA") }
