Hi, I'm new to R and I'm stuck trying to import some data from a .dat file I've been given. The tricky bit for me is that the data has both variable values and labels?
The data looks like this, Id=1 time=2011-03-27 19:23:40 start=1.4018 end=1.4017 Id=2 time=2011-03-27 19:23:40 start=1.8046 end=1.8047 Id=1 time=2011-03-27 19:23:50 start=1.4017 end=1.4018 Id=2 time=2011-03-27 19:23:50 start=1.8047 end=1.8046 Is there a way to read the file into a dataframe or martix, so each line of the file is read into a row, and the data labels are the columns. I'm try to get it to look like this? Id time start end 1 2011-03-27 19:23:40 1.4018 1.4017 2 2011-03-27 19:23:40 1.8046 1.8047 1 2011-03-27 19:23:50 1.4017 1.4018 2 2011-03-27 19:23:50 1.8047 1.8046 Its driving me nuts .
