Dear R users I am runing into a problem in reading data in R This is the error information
a<-read.table("tt_mb_200409.txt",as.is=T) Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 1653997 did not have 5 elements It seams that some lines don't have equal variables. I want to try > a<-read.table("tt_mb_200409.txt",as.is=T,fill=T) > a[1653997,] V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 1653997 00992 2777010 But, I want to delect the rows that do not have the same number of variables with others, how can I do this?
