...2.4 1.75 What I would like to do is to read this dataset, but I would like that the space between And and XVIII is not interpreted as 2 different columns but as the name of the galaxy in one column. How is it possible to do so? For instance I did this data1<-read.table("lvg_table2.txt",skip=70,fill=T) where I used fill=T because the rows don't have the same number of features since R splits the name of the galaxies into 2 columns because of the space.

dear Jim, Thanks for your reply and your proposition. I forgot to provide the header of the dataframe, here it is: ================================================================================ Byte-by-byte Description of file: lvg_table2.dat -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bytes Format Units Label Explanations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- 18 A18 --- Name Galaxy name in well-known catalogs 20- 21 I...

dear Jim, Yes I fixed the problem. Thanks again all of you for your contribution! This worked : start <- c(1, 20, 35, 41, 44, 48, 53, 59, 64, 70, 76, 78, 83, 88, + 93, 114, 122, 127) data1<-read_fwf("lvg_table2.txt",skip=70, fwf_widths(diff(start))) Well now I know how to deal with fixed-width files :) Cheers Jean-Philippe On 05/10/2017 18:42, jim holtman wrote: > You should be able to use that header information to create the > correct parameters to the read_fwf function to read in the d...
