Hi R-helpers, I inherited some code that I'm trying to use. As a very new R user I'm having some confusion.
I have some input files in the form: filename.xyzuvwrgb which I'm trying to import using: importdata = function(filename) { p = scan(filename,what=list(x = double(), y = double(), z = double(), u = double(),v=double(),w=double()),skip=1,flush=TRUE,sep=" ") return(data.frame(x=p$x, y=p$y, z=p$z, u=p$u, v=p$v, w=p$w)) } For the filename I replaced both with "~/path to/filename.xyzuvwrgb" and I get the following errors: Error: unexpected string constant in "importdata = function("~/Desktop/thrustScarp1.xyzuvw"" Error: no function to return from, jumping to top level Error: unexpected '}' in "}" I'm assuming it has to do with how I am using/formatted the function(filename) portion. How can I get this to work? Thanks for the help!
