It's apparently a unix command; www.r-project.org -> search -> "R site search" -> sed produced at least one hit with the following example:

scan(pipe("sed -e s/,$// data2"), sep=",")

For the rest of this comment, see the R site search. hope this helps. spencer graves

If the data file is in text format, is large with a lot of "."s, use sed.
It's MUCH faster than any other tool for this sort of thing.

Subject: [R] how to remove "." or replace it with NA?


Hi,all
a quick question
A larger file include many"." (stands for missing value) for variable, say, x. after
read in the file and assign it another name such as :


x1<-data$x

but x1 is always a facotor but not numerical.

so How can I get a numeric vector from the read in data frame.
how can I replace those "." with "NA" to perform analysis.

thank you very much
best regards
