...X4 1 12 8 0 16 X5 15 3 4 16 0 skip.data = zzz [-3, -3] # gives me the same matrix without row 3 and column 3... how can I tell R to skip more than one row and column? Columns and rows to be left out are not contiguous The matrix I'm using is fairly large (335x335), so excel won't read the whole thing, and it's not a fixed-width txt file, so I cannot use read.fwf. I also don't have access to Unix, as was suggested to other users to solve this problem. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Skipping-rows-and-columns-in-large-ma...
