Dear all, I have the following dataset: # HIT or acc, UCSC genome, chromosome, strand, start, end, species name HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 + 1759549 1894206 Human HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 - 8593662 8636959 Human HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 + 31675274 32146794 Human HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 + 79739648 79810715 Human (also downloadable at http://dpaste.com/82688/plain/ ) However with the following command:> source <- read.table("clipboard") > sourceV1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 1 HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 0 1759549 1894206 Human 2 HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 0 8593662 8636959 Human 3 HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 0 31675274 32146794 Human 4 HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 0 79739648 79810715 Human Note that the V4 column read.table fail to capture the PLUS/MINUS sign, it gives 0 instead. Is there a way I can enable read.table to recognize those signs? - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia

Please do show us the courtesy of following the posting guide, and make sure you use a current version of R. R 2.7.2 and 2.8.0 beta do not do this, and you were asked to update *before* posting. [My guess is that you are using the long-obsolete 2.7.0.] On Mon, 6 Oct 2008, Gundala Viswanath wrote:> Dear all, > > I have the following dataset: > > # HIT or acc, UCSC genome, chromosome, strand, start, end, species name > HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 + 1759549 1894206 Human > HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 - 8593662 8636959 Human > HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 + 31675274 32146794 Human > HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 + 79739648 79810715 Human > > (also downloadable at http://dpaste.com/82688/plain/ ) > > However with the following command: > >> source <- read.table("clipboard") >> source > V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 > 1 HIT000000001 hg18 chr8 0 1759549 1894206 Human > 2 HIT000000005 hg18 chr11 0 8593662 8636959 Human > 3 HIT000000007 hg18 chr5 0 31675274 32146794 Human > 4 HIT000000011 hg18 chr5 0 79739648 79810715 Human > > Note that the V4 column read.table fail to capture the PLUS/MINUS sign, > it gives 0 instead. > > Is there a way I can enable read.table to recognize those signs? > > > - Gundala Viswanath > Jakarta - Indonesia > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at 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.Thar *does* apply to you! -- Brian D.
