Dear all, I have the following dataset:
# HIT or acc, UCSC genome, chromosome, strand, start, end, species name HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 + 1759549 1894206 Human HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 - 8593662 8636959 Human HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 + 31675274 32146794 Human HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 + 79739648 79810715 Human (also downloadable at http://dpaste.com/82688/plain/ ) However with the following command: > source <- read.table("clipboard") > source V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 1 HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 0 1759549 1894206 Human 2 HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 0 8593662 8636959 Human 3 HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 0 31675274 32146794 Human 4 HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 0 79739648 79810715 Human Note that the V4 column read.table fail to capture the PLUS/MINUS sign, it gives 0 instead. Is there a way I can enable read.table to recognize those signs? - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
