[R] read.delim

Hi, Im reading in a .txt file into R that consists of 5 columns, however, when imported into R, it reads all the data into just one column. Is there a way of telling R to create a dataframe with 5 columns rather than putting all the data into one column? Thanks -- Shane [[alternative

Re: [R] read.delim

You have to tell R what the column delimiter is. See Read.table. On Apr 2, 2013 8:28 AM, Shane Carey careys...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Im reading in a .txt file into R that consists of 5 columns, however, when imported into R, it reads all the data into just one column. Is there a way of

[R] read.delim()

I am reading in a very large file with names in it and R is truncating the number of rows it reads in. The separator in this file is a pipe '|' and so I use dat - read.delim('pathToMyFile', header= TRUE, sep='|') It turns out that it is reading up to row 61145 and stopping and I think I see

Thank you, Phil. Unfortunately, there are quotes used properly elsewhere. - Original Message - From: Phil Spector spec...@stat.berkeley.edu To: Doran, Harold Cc: r-help@r-project.org r-help@r-project.org Sent: Wed Jul 28 18:29:32 2010 Subject: Re: [R] read.delim() Harold

Hi, I have uploaded a copy of the file here: - http://pastebin.com/fd0edfab the file has also been passed throught the unix command tool unexpand, but it doesn't solve the problem. using head=TRUE instead of head=T has also the same effect. the output of print(names) is: print(names(ngly),

Re: [R] read.delim skips first column (why?)

Try count.fields(myfile.txt, sep = \t) read.delim uses sep = \t but there are trailing tabs on some lines. The first line, i.e. with the headers, has three trailing tabs so it thinks that there are 15 columns rather than 12. The 5th line of the file (4th line of data) has 4 trailing tabs so it
