I want to paste in the following numbers into a scan:

0.023   0.032   0.054   0.069   0.081   0.094
0.105   0.127   0.148   0.169   0.188   0.216

they are separated by tabs alone, unless my mailer has done something to the tabs.

Now have a look at this:

> scan()
1: 0.0230.0320.0540.0690.0810.094
1: 0.1050.1270.1480.1690.1880.216
Error in scan() : "scan" expected a real, got "0.0230.0320.0540.0690.0810.094"
> scan(sep="\t")
1: 0.0230.0320.0540.0690.0810.094
1: 0.1050.1270.1480.1690.1880.216
Error in scan(sep = " ") : "scan" expected a real, got "0.0230.0320.0540.0690.0810.094"
>


Platform: Windows XP Release 1.8.1

I can't seem to scan in tab-separated numbers even when I try to tell R to expect that. (this may be related to the Sweave problem I mentioned a few days ago.)
