Dear R-users, I would like to know how could I read a file with different lines lengths. I need read this file and create an output to feed my database. So after reading I'll need create an output like this
"INSERT INTO TEMP (DATA,STATION,VAR1,VAR2) VALUES (20100910,837460, 39,390)" I mean, each line should be read. But I don`t how to do this when these lines have different lengths I really appreciate any help. Thanks. ====Below the file that should be read =========== *2010 10 01 00 83746 -43.25 -22.81 6 51* 1012.0 -9999 320 1.5 299.1 294.4 64 1000.0 114 250 4.1 298.4 294.8 32 925.0 797 0 0.0 293.6 292.9 32 850.0 1524 195 3.1 289.6 288.9 32 700.0 3156 290 11.3 280.1 280.1 32 500.0 5870 280 20.1 266.1 260.1 32 400.0 7570 265 23.7 256.6 222.7 32 300.0 9670 265 28.8 240.2 218.2 32 250.0 10920 280 27.3 230.2 220.2 32 200.0 12390 260 32.4 218.7 206.7 32 176.0 -9999 255 37.6 -9999.0 -9999.0 8 150.0 14180 245 35.5 205.1 196.1 32 100.0 16560 300 17.0 195.2 186.2 32 *2010 10 01 00 83768 -51.13 -23.33 569 41 * 1000.0 79 -9999 -9999.0 -9999.0 -9999.0 32 946.0 -9999 270 1.0 295.8 292.1 64 925.0 763 15 2.1 296.4 290.4 32 850.0 1497 175 3.6 290.8 288.4 32 700.0 3140 295 9.8 282.9 278.6 32 500.0 5840 285 23.7 267.1 232.1 32 400.0 7550 255 35.5 255.4 231.4 32 300.0 9640 265 37.0 242.2 216.2 32 Best Regards, -- Abraço, Nilza Barros [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
