I am using the read.table function to load an Excel data set into R. It has a few variables with very long qualitative (free response typically in sentences) response that I would like to keep, but would like to limit the "length" of the response that R shows. Is there some sort of string or column width command I can include in the read.table function to limit the length of words used in the variables that have long responses?? I do know which variable names are the ones with the qualitative responses. Will the Rcmdr program do this for me? I know STATA has this function but I don't have it on my computer to use.
