There was a couple of strange characters in the post so I am not sure that I understand exactly what the data looks like but if you are getting a vector of results that look like "22 Results","35 Results","39 Results","2 Results","7 Results","23 Results", "42 Results","36 Results","22 Results","28 Results"
Then I think that something like this will work where x is your data. x <- c("22 Results","35 Results","39 Results","2 Results","7 Results","23 Results", "42 Results","36 Results","22 Results","28 Results") x1 <- strsplit(x, " ") x2 <- as.data.frame(do.call("rbind",x1)) (chiffres <- as.numeric(as.character(x2[,1])) --- On Tue, 8/11/09, jorgusch <hackl.schor...@web.de> wrote: > From: jorgusch <hackl.schor...@web.de> > Subject: [R] Slicing cra**y csv files > To: r-help@r-project.org > Received: Tuesday, August 11, 2009, 4:39 AM > > Hello, > > For not too regular users of R, preparing the data is > somehow a burden. > > Comming from iMacro in FireFox I get a badly designed csv, > which I need to > put into a daily R script. > The data looks like that (e.g.): > 22 Results,"35 Results","39 Results","2 Results","7 > Results","23 > Results","42 Results","36 Results","22 Results","28 > Results" > > and R does this to it: > > V1 > V2 > V3 V4 > V5 > V6 > V7 > 1 22 Results 35 Results 39 Results 2 Results 7 > Results 23 Results 42 > Results > V8 > V9 V10 > 1 36 Results 22 Results 28 Results > > I just need the numbers as a vector. > > Excel can do it with a few lines of VBA, but there must be > a way to do it > directly in R, would make things easier. > > Thanks a lot! > jorgusch > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Slicing-cra**y-csv-files-tp24913849p24913849.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > 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. > __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
