Subject: [R] read tab delimited file from a certain line
Hi
I would like to read table data from a text-files with extra informations in
the header (of unknown line count). Example:
informations (unknown count of lines)
... and at some point the table
------
year month mday value
2013 1 16 0
...
If it was an excel file I could use something like read.xls(...,
pattern="year") But it is a simple tab seperated text-file. Is there an easy
way to read only the table? (Without dirty things ;))
Thx
Christof
