Hi David, PFB the details of my query. Request your help in getting this resolved.
# TESTING is my dataset with almost 40K rows. I am importing this dataset from my local desktop TESTING <- read.table("/Users/madana/Desktop/testing.txt", header=FALSE, sep="\t", na.strings="", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE) TESTING # I tried the following two ways. Let me know if i am using right syntax. Lines <- readLines(textConnection(data.frame(TESTING$V1))) # Error message is: Error in textConnection(data.frame(TESTING$V1)) : invalid 'text' argument Lines <- readLines(textConnection(data.frame("TESTING", header=FALSE, sep="\t", na.strings="", dec=".", strip.white=TRUE))) # Error message is: Error in textConnection(data.frame("TESTING", header = FALSE, sep = "\t", : argument 'object' must deparse to a single character string closeAllConnections() newlines <- strsplit(Lines, ":") # Error message is: Error in strsplit(Lines, ":") : non-character argument newlines2 <- unlist(newlines) cleaned_data <- read.table(textConnection(newlines2), sep=",") # Error message is: Error in textConnection(newlines2) : invalid 'text' argument My machine Config is: Dual Core.
