[R] How do I read multiple rows of different lengths?

Hi, I have a data file with hundreds of rows, with every first, second, third, and fourth line representing a set of numbers for row names x, y, fit, and residuals, respectively. However, any given group of these lines might be from 10 to 2 values long. When I try fits=read.delim2(test)

fitLines=read.delim(testOut,header=FALSE,quote=) worked pretty well. I have a bunch of NA's that I don't want, but at least I can access the data I do want. Thank you, Sean -- View this message in context:

Actually, I take that back, this is only reading in 18 values at the most in a list, but some lists should be over 200 values in length... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-do-I-read-multiple-rows-of-different-lengths-tp3015986p3016151.html Sent from the R help

Re: [R] How do I read multiple rows of different lengths?

Using the text itself works, although slightly annoying. I ended up just processing the text each time I wanted a value inside it, which turns out to be about the same thing. The key to processing the text ended up being a command: library(CGIwithR) followed by another command scanText(textLine)

For those interested in the data, as I did receive at least one request, I'll post it here: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3016233/testOut testOut -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-do-I-read-multiple-rows-of-different-lengths-tp3015986p3016233.html Sent
