R help - Jun 2006 - incomplete final line found by readLines on ...

Dear R-users

I need to read some text files produced by some other software.
I used readLines (with n = -1 ) command and then tried to find some numbers 
I liked to extract or some line numbers I like to know.

The problem is that there is no empty line at the end of the text files.

R gave me this warning below;

In addition: Warning message:
incomplete final line found by readLines on 'output.txt'

I know this doesn't affect anything and just warning messages. Is there any 
way to prevent this warning message.

Thanks

Taka

Hi, Taka.  The easiest might be using the suppressWarnings wrapper.
See ?suppressWarnings for more information.

readLines in R-devel has argument warn=TRUE, so you can easily change the 
behaviour if using that version of R.

The problem is actually that the final `line' does not end in an EOL mark 
(LF or CRLF as appropriate), which often indicates a broken text file.
