Hello, I want to do some analyses with data originating from a hydrological model that are saved in multiple output files. I want to import the output-files in R without a treatment like preproceesing every output file. The output file is more or less a matrix, but with additional rows in the header, describing the type of data. My question is: 1. Is there a possibility to skip the rows or start with a certain row? I want to exclude row 2 and 3, so the first line become the header of the list below. This is the beginning of the output file to be imported. YY MM DD HH "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" tot_average total runoff [mm per zone] (sum of QB, QI und QD)_submodel:unsatzon_model -- -- -- -- 0.1466624 0.2958042 0.2225048 0.2279085 0.1071202 1.0000 2001 1 1 1 0.055242 0.037391 0.051550 0.057681 0.021070 0.046036 2001 1 1 2 0.051288 0.032404 0.047027 0.056636 0.021070 0.042736 2001 1 1 3 0.052491 0.032937 0.048042 0.058415 0.021070 0.043701 2001 1 1 4 0.051389 0.032508 0.047136 0.056663 0.021070 0.042812 2001 1 1 5 0.050730 0.032263 0.046599 0.055585 0.021070 0.042278 Would be a great help if there is a possibility.
