Dear list,
Hello! I had a problem of reading in a txt file and need your help.
The txt file, called A, comprises of 592 columns and 34179 rows.
I need to note that for some cells of A , A[i,j], are blank.
I used read.table() and got the warning message:
> A<-read.table(file="A.txt",sep="\t")
Warning message:
In scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, :
number of items read is not a multiple of the number of columns
> dim(A)
[1] 33623 592
However, as some rows were missed because the original number
of rows is 34179, after read.table(), it was decreased to 33623.
I have no idea whether it has anything to do with the warning message.
Do you have any suggestions for this problem?
Thanks much,
Alex
