Hello
thank you for the fast and helpful answer! Now the following works fine
for me
x <- readLines(filename)
i <- grep("^year", x)
dlf <- read.table(textConnection(x[i:length(x)]),
header = T, stringsAsFactors=F,sep="\t")
Greetings

Hello,
Read the file using readLines, then grep "^year". You can then use a
textConnection to read.table:
x <- readLines(con = textConnection(
"informations (unknown count of lines)
... and at some point the table
------
year month mday value
2013 1 16 0 "))
# This is it
i <- grep("^year", x)
read.table(textConnection(x[i:length(x)]), header = TRUE)
Hope this helps,

Hi
I would like to read table data from a text-files with extra
informations in the header (of unknown line count). Example:
informations (unknown count of lines)
... and at some point the table
------
year month mday value
2013 1 16 0
...
If it was an excel file I could use something like read.xls(...,
pattern="year") But it is a simple tab seperated text-file. Is there
an easy way to read only the table? (Without dirty things ;))
Thx
Christof
