Hi, I am attempting to write code which will read in my data which is of this form:
X1 Y1 X2 Y2 .... Xn Yn 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 255 1 0 2 255 2 0 2 255 3 0 3 0 3 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 5 0 5 0 5 255 6 125 6 125 6 0 7 0 7 0 7 0 8 0 8 0 8 125 . . . With n~100. My current code deals with only 1 data set, n~1 (below): profile<-read.table("datav1.txt",header=T) attach(profile) lines<-profile[Y>100,] d<-lines$X i<-1 l<-1:1:i while(i<30){ l[i]<-(d[(i+1)]-d[i]) temp<-i+1 i<-temp } L<-l[l>22] I want to extend this to accept n data sets to see how L varies between each data set. The way I have been trying to do this is as follows: profile<-read.table("datav2.txt",header=T) j<-1 lines[j]<-profile[profile$Y[(2*j)]>100,] etc. However this returns the message "Error in profile$Y : object of type 'closure' is not subsettable". Does anybody know if there is any way I can read in a file containing many data sets and save each data set as an element of some matrix before performing the calculations (above) on it? Or some other method to achieve the same thing? Any help or suggestions would be great! Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Reading-in-and-manipulating-multiple-data-sets-from-the-same-input-file-tp3335523p3335523.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
