I am trying to read a file with 8 columns and about 200 rows into a matrix. I tried something like: x<-matrix(data="data.txt", nrow=200, ncol=8) but this produces a matrix with "data.txt" in it. Is there a way to read the data in?
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Thank you!
You should read "R Data Import/Export" (and the posting guide).
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.pdf
What you are looking for is ?read.table or ?scan. Also read ?matrix while you are at it.
x <- matrix(scan("data.txt"), nrow = 200, ncol = 8)--sundar
