Hello to everyone,
I have gotten my file to print to screen but when I use read.table I am getting
an error message that
says there are" more columns than column names."This is a file that
was not created by me so I am
not sure how to investigate and solve this problem.I looked in the help file and
it suggested an auxilliary function called count.fieldsThe code that was used
was:
read.table(file="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\colon
cancer1.txt",header=T,row.names=1)
Any help would be appreciated

Hi Paul, The easiest thing to to is to open the file using a text editor (Notepad will do) and examine the first few lines. You can add add a column name if needed.

Dear Paul, Perhaps read.delim2() can do the job easily.
