Hello, I have a problem with read.data. For example I have a file # comment 1?0001010101 101010??1010 with comment on first line and data layout without separator. How I could read data that each character\sign was in another column. It is trivial probably, but I have no idea for it.

I have a problem with 'read.data' also in that I don't see that as a function in the 'base'; I assume you meant read.table. Also you did not indicate is all the lines were the same length. Here is a solution to return a list is each character broken out separately.> x <- readLines(textConnection("# comment+ 1?0001010101 + 101010??1010"))> closeAllConnections() > # split lines 2-n into a list of separate characters > result <- lapply(x[-1], function(.line) strsplit(.line, '')[[1]]) > result[[1]] [1] "1" "?" "0" "0" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "1" [[2]] [1] "1" "0" "1" "0" "1" "0" "?" "?" "1" "0" "1" "0" On Sun, Dec 26, 2010 at 1:04 PM, Fror <fror at interia.pl> wrote:> > Hello, > > I have a problem with read.data.
