Hi,
I have a data file with hundreds of rows, with every first, second,
third,
and fourth line representing a set of numbers for row names x, y,
fit, and
residuals, respectively. However, any given group of these lines
might be
from 10 to 20000 values long.
When I try
fits=read.delim2("test")
Try adding ...
, header=FALSE, quote="")
.....to the read arguments. (You have no header and the leading and
trailing double-quotes result in everything getting read in in one
column.)
Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote =
quote,
:
more columns than column names
When I try
fits=readLines("test")
it reads the data, but doesn't separate it into values:
head(fits)

Can anyone help me do this?
Thanks,
