Re: [R] How to import data as numeric array?

2005-06-28 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Please consult the `R Data Import/Export Manual'.  You could be using 
scan(), as in

   matrix(scan(some_file, 0), nrow=n, byrow=TRUE)

 I am trying to read a n*m dimension data with read.table, what i need is 
 a numeric array, is there any efficient way to allow me get this array 
 directly instead of a list? I tried to use as.array() to change the 
 mode, but seems it doesn't work and i got this error message:

 Error in dimnames-.data.frame(`*tmp*`, value = list(function (M)  :
invalid dimnames given for data frame 

 what's wrong with the dimension names , should i delete them? how can i do 
 that?

I think you wanted as.matrix here, not as.array: probably the call to the 
latter was incorrect, but we were not shown it.

maybe you can use the array function,like
array(CO2,dim(CO2),list(rownames(CO2),colnames(CO2)))
and matrix is just a specif type of array,so maybe you can use as.matrix
as.matrix(CO2)

the above tow,the CO2 is a data.frame which can use read.table to read in.

the third way is:use the scan the read the data and use array to change the 
data to array.
