OK, my apologies. I am sure this is a question that has been answered before. But I have looked all over the web and can't find an answer for it. I promise, wasting your time and bandwidth is my last resort.
So here goes: I have an ASCII file formatted like so: Label 1.1 Time 1 Label 1.2 Array of data from time 1 Label 2.1 Time 2 Label 2.2 Array of data from time 2 Label 3.1 Etc. I just want an efficient way of reading this data in so that 1) The "Label" values are ignored. 2) The "Time" values go into a single vector. 3) The "Array of data" values go into a single array. The only thing I have been able to do is "scan" everything in to one honking big list and then distribute the data out of this list one index at a time. Surely there is a more elegant way? Thanks. ______________________________________________ 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.
