Hello,
Here's my problem :
I have a csv file which I have to read with read.table() function (or
read.csv). The file has about 60000 lines whose data are written
this way:
character;character;character;character
14/10/2010 13:10;0;49;0;49;
14/10/2010 13:20;0;49;0;49;
14/10/2010 13:30;0;49;0;49;
I tried to use the function this way: read.csv("file.csv",sep =
";",colClasses = "character", fill="TRUE",as.is=TRUE,h=FALSE).
If you are expecting 5 columns as this would suggest then your
colClasses argument needs to be rep("character", 5)
Here's what I get as an error:
Error in fill && length(col.names) > cols :
type 'x' incorrect in 'x && y'
I can't find any set of options with any of the read functions that
work.
You need to read the read.table documentation again, ... and
again, ... and again.
