When reading in a tab delimited file using args I keep getting the error:
Error: unexpected symbol in "Name index"
Execution halted
The code is this:
a <- read.table(args[1],sep="\t",header=T, stringsAsFactors=F)
When inputting the file directly, as follows, this produces no errors:
a <- read.table("/path/to/file/filename.txt", header=T,sep="\t",
stringsAsFactors=F).
The file is such:
Name index
Bob 1
George 2
Dave 3
Eric 4
.
.
.
.
Andrew 20
Is there anything I should be looking out for that might be producing
this error. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
