Hi all, Am trying to read data from a .txt file in such a way that i can access the column names too. For example, the data in the table.txt file is as below: Name Weight Height Gender Anne 150 65 F Rob 160 68 M George 180 65 M Greg 205 69 M i used the following commands: data<-scan("table.txt",list("",0,0,0),sep="") a<-data[[1]] b<-data[[2]] c<-data[[3]] d<-data[[4]] But this doesn't work because of type mismatch. I want to pull the col names also into the respective lists. For example i want 'b' to have (weight,150,160,180,205) so that i can access the col name and also the induvidual weights. I tried using the read.table method too, but couldn't get this working. Can someone suggest a way to do this. Thanks, Vasu.
