To the R experts, I am currently playing with a program which was designed so that the outputs are to be read in "Surfer". I do not have the program, but the files, can but put into excel and graphed. I figured i could do the same thing with R.
If I open the file with excel, and put the text into columns, and separate them by spaces, I can then graph it. But how do I do this in R? Once I have done all that in excel and saved it, I can then open it and do a 3d suface plot in R, but I would like to skip the excel step. Each line looks like this: 0.2100209E+03 0.2109997E+03 0.2111866E+03 0.2095219E+03 0.2079958E+03 0.2088303E+03 0.2095171E+03 0.2104975E+03 0.2124125E+03 0.2132827E+03 0.2125371E+03 0.2119912E+03 0.2119215E+03 0.2127108E+03 0.2147589E+03 0.2167924E+03 0.2157783E+03 0.2144353E+03 0.2127579E+03 0.2085133E+03 0.2065096E+03 0.2037935E+03 0.1973606E+03 0.1945031E+03 0.2076126E+03 0.2131146E+03 0.2014675E+03 0.1999074E+03 0.1994730E+03 0.2003694E+03 0.2003093E+03 0.2017771E+03 0.2070309E+03 0.1945123E+03 0.1892468E+03 0.1857383E+03 0.1817865E+03 0.1791424E+03 0.1785881E+03 0.1791883E+03 0.1803020E+03 0.1797575E+03 0.1807816E+03 0.1835612E+03 0.1866963E+03 0.1882194E+03 0.1919594E+03 0.1940257E+03 0.1977790E+03 0.1970629E+03 0.1983556E+03 0.1990551E+03 0.1999159E+03 0.2016027E+03 0.2029541E+03 0.2049124E+03 0.2077511E+03 0.2081407E+03 0.2074211E+03 0.2082496E+03 0.2088355E+03 0.2089197E+03 0.2106171E+03 0.2125163E+03 The first thing I have to do is remove the first 4 lines (which are just file information), and then separate each value into its own column. How do I go about doing that?
