Hello again,
I am simply trying to import a rectangular table of strings. The
table's dimensions are 1990 x 2, yet my read.table() command can
only find
362 of the rows (and they're not the first 362). I would've taken
the time
to figure out how to use scan, readLines, or some other tool that
can read
in character strings, and then parse and input to a table, but that
seems
like overkill, and probably it would be good to understand what's
wrong with
my text file.
The file is here.
https://regtransfers-sth-se.diino.com/download/jonsleepy/_mydropbox_/finalInput.xls
The code is here:
temp <- as.matrix(read.table('finalInput.xls', header=FALSE, sep =
"\t"))
dim(temp) #expect 1990 x 2; but find 362 x 2
Sorry to require a download (this probably won't make people happy),
but
since my problem is file-specific, the file is needed for
troubleshooting.
There is something wrong with line 362. If you delete it and reload
the task completes.
I generated it with some grep, gawk commands using Cygwin in a Windows
environment (though subsequently converted it to Windows format - R
loads it
exactly the same way, regardless of whether it's in linux or windows
format)
