If a text file has rows of variable lengths. How to read the file into R?
I think some people may suggest using 'fill=T', however, it sort of messes
the data up, for example, in the text file:
a b c d
1 2 3 4
1 8 6
1 2 0
1 1 0
If I read in the file using 'read.table("data", head=T, fill=T), then the
data.frame in R will be:
a b c d
1 2 3 4
1 8 6 NA
1 2 0 NA
1 1 0 NA
Could anyone tell me how to handle this?
Thank you very much,
Karena
