( This may seem a basic query, but anyway ... here goes ... :-)
I have a simple ASCII dataset which I'm trying to read into R (and
trying to get R to accept it as a data-frame). The data is of the form
-
City Number
Napier 324
Auckland 657
Wellington 879
Christchurch 904
- and so on. The data is separated by tabs , as above.
I use the read.table function as follows -
a <- read.table("C:\\RNew\\Doc\\data1.txt",as.is=F,header=T)
This reads the data in OK, but it is as a list - not as a data-frame.
How can I use the read.table function to read the data into a
data-frame?
I have documentation for S-plus and have read the R documentation, but
so far - no success.
Hope someone can help here..... :-) Thanks in advance.
