Hello, I hope I am doing this correctly, though I am not sure if a response will be posted somewhere or if I will get a direct response. I am trying to import a .txt table in my class on R and for some reason, the header gets altered and I can no longer read the data. No one in my class had this problem and the instructors were not sure how to fix it. Here is the text table: Kind Fatness Wt Ewe 4 10.3 Ewe 8 11.9 Ewe 11 15 Ewe 15 17.1 Ewe 15 18.7 Ram 5 12.4 Ram 4 14.3 Ram 10 16.6 Ram 8 18.8 Ram 14 21.9 Here is the code that I copied from the instructors handout (simple cut and paste, no alterations): Lambs = read.table("Lambs.txt", header = TRUE) > Lambs ï..Kind Fatness Wt 1 Ewe 4 10.3 2 Ewe 8 11.9 3 Ewe 11 15.0 4 Ewe 15 17.1 5 Ewe 15 18.7 6 Ram 5 12.4 7 Ram 4 14.3 8 Ram 10 16.6 9 Ram 8 18.8 10 Ram 14 21.9 > par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) > plot(Fatness ~ Kind, data = Lambs) Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'Kind' not found
I think it is because the "Kind" header got altered into " ï..Kind" and it can no longer identify the object. Can anyone help?
