Dear listers, previous plain text was still more messy,
Here a trial hopefully better...
I encountered an issue with a CSV file that was imported correctly but
could not be re-imported correctly after being written with R. This is
probably because geographical coordinates were imported as character in
degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS), which includes " (quotation mark)
for the seconds.
Below a reproducible example:
db <- structure(list(lon = c(6.228561, 6.22532, 6.2260499999999999,
6.2267789999999996, 6.2224659999999998, 6.2209430000000001), latdms =
c("47°12'28.36\"N", "47°12'33.46\"N", "47°12'28.37\"N",
"47°12'27.48\"N", "47°12'31.31\"N", "47°12'33.15\"N"), londms =
c("6°13'42.82\"E", "6°13'31.15\"E", "6°13'33.78\"E", "6°13'36.40\"E",
"6°13'20.88\"E", "6°13'15.39\"E"), fusutmn = c(32L, 32L, 32L, 32L, 32L,
32L)), row.names = c(NA, 6L), class = "data.frame")
> db
write.table(db, file = "db.txt", row.names = FALSE, quote = FALSE, sep =
"\t")
db_import<-read.delim("db.txt")
> db_import
As you can see it, latdms and londms are now collapsed and all the
columns on the right have shifted to the left. I get the same issue
with ; as a separator.
I could not find a workaround...
Any hint appreciated,
Patrick
