Hello everyone, Thanks a ton to everyone on this thread. Apologies for breaking posting etiquette - this was my first post.
I got it to work using a few different suggestions, the only thing is the my .csv file is appearing in R as separated by semicolons. The column headings are separated only by a period, preventing me from manipulating the data. For example: > Test=read.csv(file="~/Desktop/heightweight.csv") Message d'avis : In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : readTableHeader a trouvé une ligne finale incomplète dans '~/Desktop/heightweight.csv' > Test Height.Weight 1 200;180 2 180;170 3 160;130 4 210;200 > Test$Height [1] 200;180 180;170 160;130 210;200 Levels: 160;130 180;170 200;180 210;200 > Test$Weight NULL > I have been using the above .csv file to learn the R program before importing a much larger data set, some three thousand rows long. Thanks again for all the inputs, and if I am using the thread incorrectly feel free to say so. Not intending to abuse the service.
