Dear all,
I try to use read.table to get the data from a tab delimited file, and some
of the data is shown below:
3185 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F
3187 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1 (H)
3188 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H')
3189 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H3 (2H9)
3190 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K /// heterogeneous nuclear
ribonucleoprotein K
3190 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K
3309 "heat shock 70kDa protein 5 (glucose-regulated protein, 78kDa)"
3310 heat shock 70kDa protein 6 (HSP70B')
3312 heat shock 70kDa protein 8
3313 heat shock 70kDa protein 9B (mortalin-2)
6302 sarcoma amplified sequence
6303 spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase
6304 special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (binds to nuclear
matrix/scaffold-associating DNA's)
6305 SET binding factor 1
6307 sterol-C4-methyl oxidase-like
6625 Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein 70kDa polypeptide (RNP antigen)
6626 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A
6627 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A'
6628 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1
6629 Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide B''
when I use
> test <- read.table("data.txt", colClasses = "character", sep="\t")
I found out that "test" only has certain records:
3185 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F
3187 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H1 (H)
3188 heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (H')
3312 heat shock 70kDa protein 8
3313 heat shock 70kDa protein 9B (mortalin-2)
6302 sarcoma amplified sequence
6303 spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase
6304 special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (binds to nuclear
matrix/scaffold-associating DNA's)
6628 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1
6629 Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide B''
and it means that whenever read.table reads ' , it skips the next line,
until it reads ' again....
Could anyone show me how to solve this kind of problem ?
I greatly appreciate for any suggestion. Thanks.
