FT20100626_%2420_%2B_%242_Sit_%26_Go_-_%28169112900%29_-_Summary.txt
I have a lot of experience with Stata, but I'm new to R. I'm trying to read
the attached file into R on my mac. My goal is to have it as a list, with
each element a string - from then I can parse out the data I need and add it
as an observation in a dataframe.
I've tried scan, readlines, etc. but I'm stumped. I've been adding
encoding="UTF-16", but that doesn't seem to help much.
The closest I've come is:
test<-scan(file="FT20100626 $20 + $2 Sit & Go - (169112900) - Summary.txt",
what=list(""), flush=FALSE, skip=0, encoding="UTF-16", quote="\n")
which gives me a list wherein each element is first letter of the row.
> test
[[1]]
[1] "\xff\xfeF" "T" "P" "T" "S" "$"
"+" "$" "S"
[10] "&" "G" "(" "H" "N" "L"
"B" "u" "$"
[19] "+" "$" "B" "u" "C" "1"
"6" "E" "T"
[28] "o" "P" "P" "$" "T" "o"
"s" "2" "0"
[37] "E" "T" "o" "f" "2" "1"
"E" "\n" "1"
[46] "B" "$" "2" ":" "J" "$"
"3" ":" "b"
[55] "4" ":" "s" "c" "2" "5"
":" "R" "6"
[64] ":" "S" "B" "o" "f" "i"
"1" "p"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
