Hello, I am a biologist and I am dealing with files composed of columns with T or A or C or G (example below)
Sometimes a column is composed of only "T" and in that case, the columns becomes a logical column TRUE (example below) I know that the argument "as.is" controls the turns off turning a column into a factor, instead becoming a character Is there something similar for Iogical? (I could not find it) I can solve this problem by doing something like: # FUN.changeLogi <- function(df){ if(identical(all.equal(all(df), T), T)) df <- 'T' return(df) } xx <- do.call('cbind', lapply(xx, FUN.changeLogi)) but it seems very cumbersome… Thanks, Tiago Magalhães produce a text file example.txt A C A T C G F A A C T C G F A C A T C G F A G A T C G F T A C T C G F xx <- read.table('example.txt') str(xx) xx <- read.table('~/Desktop/temp.txt') $ V1: chr "A" "A" "A" "A" ... $ V2: chr "C" "A" "C" "G" ... $ V3: chr "A" "C" "A" "A" ... $ V4: logi TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE $ V5: chr "C" "C" "C" "C" ... $ V6: chr "G" "G" "G" "G" ... $ V7: logi FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
