Hi Atem,
I was able to read the file and removed those suffix letters. The file had a
lot of formatting issues. I don't know about the formatting in your other
files. Also, there were lines that differ in the number of elements.
If it is similar to the one you send, you can try this:
con<- file("dt306A009.txt")
Lines1<- readLines(con)
close(con)
Lines2<- Lines1[-1]
length(Lines2)
#[1] 1140
library(stringr)
Lines3<-str_split(Lines2,"-9999.99M")
Lines4<-
str_trim(unlist(lapply(Lines3,function(x){x[x==""]<-NA;paste(x,collapse=" ")})))
Lines5<-gsub("(\\d+)[A-Za-z]","\\1",Lines4)
res<-read.table(text=Lines5,sep="",header=FALSE,fill=TRUE)
head(res)

Hi A.K,
Attached are example files. I have 110 of such and would like to perform the
analysis as described before. I would find T, F, Y, A, C, etc and delete them.
The letters are affixed to values in the data just to communicate an idea. As
before, find all -9999.99M and replace with NA.
Thanks so much.
Atem.

Hi,
If you wanted to delete "T", "C","A", "F" and "Y" and replace "-999.99M" with
NA, it is possible, but the result would be stored in a list if
the number of elements deleted from each of the columns are different. As you
didn't provide any reproducible example, I don't know whether equal number of
elements are replaced from each columns or not..
set.seed(28)
myfiles<- lapply(1:5,function(i)
as.data.frame(matrix(sample(c(LETTERS,"-999.99M"),40*i,replace=TRUE),ncol=(40*i)/8),stringsAsFactors=FALSE))
res<-lapply(myfiles,function(x){x[x=="-999.99M"]<-NA;lapply(x,function(y)
y[!y%in%c("T","C","A","F","Y")])})
res[[1]]
#$V1
#[1] "M" "X" "U" "X"
#
#$V2
#[1] "P" "Z" "S" "R" "Q" "W" "N" "I"
#
#$V3
#[1] "K" "S" NA "M" "G" "G" "Z"
#
#$V4
#[1] "O" "M" "G" "G" "B" "X" "M"
#
#$V5

"K"

Hi A.K,
Thanks for this great help. I wish to find -999.99M and replace with NA. All
others like T, A, F etc should be deleted from the files.
Thanks for much.

I assume that you meant to replace it with NA. set.seed(28)
myfiles<- lapply(1:5,function(i)
as.data.frame(matrix(sample(c(LETTERS,"-999.99M"),40*i,replace=TRUE),ncol=(40*i)/8),stringsAsFactors=FALSE))

x1[x1%in%
c("-999.99M","T","C","A","F","Y")]<-NA;as.data.frame(matrix(x1,ncol=ncol(x)),stringsAsFactors=FALSE)})
res[[1]] # V1 V2 V3 V4 V5

#5 Q G P
#6 U W G B K
#7 N Z X R
#8 X I
M K lapply(seq_along(res),function(i)
write.table(res[[i]],paste0("file",i,".txt"),row.names=FALSE,quote=FALSE))

Subject: [R] Help Hello, I have a question and need your help urgently. I am
new to R but want to learn it. I have several files in a folder which I have
imported to R using :
temp = list.files(pattern="*.txt")
>myfiles = lapply(temp, read.delim)
The resulting files are on the workspace stored as List[110]. So they are 110
files in the list. Each file has several different columns and rows.
My question: I would like to find and replace -999.99M with NA; Find
'T','C','A','F' and 'Y', delete them from all the 110 files.
Then, I want to write.table all
the corrected files back to a folder on my computer.
Thanks for your help.
Atem. ________________________________
