Hi Linda Did you already get a reply to your question? If not, try adding a new line at the end of the text (just hit enter after 69,the last number in your data and save the file). You also want to use the argument "sep" in read.table
Since you have a comma at the end of each row you can either manually delete that and use read.table, or just import it the way it is and then delete the last variable ("V4") created because of the extra comma i.e z<- read.table("q.txt", sep=",") z V1 V2 V3 V4 1 1 2 3 NA 2 33 44 88 NA 3 23 43 69 NA #V4 is an artifact from your extra comma at the end of each row newz<-z[,-4] #Deletes V4 I hope this helps Francisco >From: "linda.s" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch >Subject: [R] new to R >Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 01:05:21 -0800 > > > z <- read.table("c:/temp/q.txt") >Warning message: >incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'c:/temp/q.txt' >what does that mean? >my q.txt is like: >1, 2, 3, >33, 44, 88, >23, 43, 69, > >______________________________________________ >R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list >https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help >PLEASE do read the posting guide! >http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
