I suspect that you are looking for something like:
read.csv(textConnection( "5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa 4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa 4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa 4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa 5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa" ), header = FALSE) HTH, Jan On 25-10-17 12:50, Morkus via R-devel wrote:
Hi all, Using RConsole, it's easy to get data from the database that you can use in an R Command. Like this: (Reference case) irisQuery <- dbGetQuery(conn, "select * from iris") boxM(irisQuery [,-5], irisQuery[,5]) ---- (Actual case this posting is about) Yet, if I'm getting that same (sample IRIS) data, say, in a web service possibly POSTED from a SQL command, that same data might look like this (portion of the included iris data set below). I'm thus not sure how to package the data so R likes it. Example R-included IRIS data from SQL output: 5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa, 4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa, 4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa, 4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa, 5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa, I've tried various combinations in code to achieve what's simple in RConsole, but I can't get R to accept my structure. - I've tried just including the data in a string. - I've tried wrapping the data with "data" - I've tried wrapping the data with "data.frame" (as below). Here's my latest attempt: String tableRead = "data.frame(5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.9,3,1.4,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.7,3.2,1.3,0.2,setosa\n" + "4.6,3.1,1.5,0.2,setosa\n" + "5,3.6,1.4,0.2,setosa)" ; // using parseAndEval below to give me actual error R is sending... REXP rResponseObject = rConnection.parseAndEval("try(eval("+tableRead+"),silent=TRUE)"); if (rResponseObject.inherits("try-error")) { System.out.println("R Serve Eval Exception : "+rResponseObject.asString()); } REXP boxMResult = rConnection.eval("boxM("+ tableRead+ "[,-5]," + tableRead + "[, 5])"); // FAILS << ---- Error in the above case is: Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:51356', transport: 'socket' org.rosuda.REngine.REngineException: eval failed, request status: R parser: syntax error at org.rosuda.REngine.Rserve.RConnection.parseAndEval(RConnection.java:454) at org.rosuda.REngine.REngine.parseAndEval(REngine.java:108) at net.example.start_r_fromjava.RStatisticsExample.main(RStatisticsExample.java:151) Does the POSTed data need to be in a different format or am I just not framing it correctly? Would appreciate any tips on how to package table data that might come from a SQL Query passed to Java code.
