View(head(read.table(filename),20)) -- David -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Sarah Goslee Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2013 3:21 PM To: Paul Bernal Cc: r-help Subject: Re: [R] Issue when reading a table into R Since nobody else has mentioned it: if you are seeing that message when you are reading data in, then you probably failed to assign the data to an R object. mydata <- read.table("somefile") # correct read.table("somefile") # will simply print your data to the console, not save it I'm not entirely sure what you meant by "retrieve" so maybe you already knew this. You can use e.g. dim(mydata) to find out whether it's the size you expect.
