Right, but it seems to me that the error being the NA's in the index field are caused by the longer vector lengths of columns 4 and 5. I would think that the EOF in the scanf() (assuming C is used for the source code) would be called where the NA's begin in columns 1 and 2 since columns 3:5 are nulled out. Does this sound like a possible case?
So, if the read in data only contained columns 1 and 2, it wouldn't even look at columns 3:5 and thus, rows 14 and so on wouldn't even be looked at and that would be EOF already - resulting in no error. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/uneven-vector-length-issue-with-read-zoo-tp4604287p4613384.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.
