I've got read.table to successfully read in my table of three columns. Most of the time I will have a set number of rows, but sometime that will be variable and sometimes there will be only be two variables in one row, e.g.
Time Loc1 Loc2 1 22.33 44.55 2 66.77 88.99 3 222.33344.55 4 66.77 88.99 Is there any way to have read.table handle (1) a variable number of rows, and (2) sometime there are only two variables as shown in Time = 3 above? Just curious about how to handle this, and if read.table is the right way to go about or if I should read in all the data and then try to parse it out best I can.
