R help - Mar 2008 - (no subject)

Hi all,

I am trying to read a text file in R! I have a warning message:

In read.table(file = "data1.txt", header = T) : uncompleted last line
of readTableHeader in 'data1.txt'

Could you please tell me why? and how can I deal with missing value when I read
this file?

all the best
Alfons

R is warning you that the file may be incomplete. In Unix, text files 
are supposed to always end with a newline.  Windows programs often omit 
it on the last line.  So on Unix, R is probably right to warn you, but 
it could well be a false positive if you're on Windows.

How you deal with missing values really depends on what you want to do 
with the data.  There's no general answer.
