similar to: Error: not 'a real'?

Hello R-User I have a table as tab-delimited textfile (291 rows, 83 columns). The first row are labels and the first line the variable names. I used the following code several times with different similar tables and it always worked. But now: setClass("of") setAs("character", "of", function(from) as.ordered(from)) Classe82<-cclasses <-

Dear all, I have a tab-delimited text (.txt) file which I'm trying to read into R. This file is of column format - there are in fact 3 columns and 259201 rows (including the column headers). I've been using the following commands, but receive an error each time which prevents the data from being read in: > Jan <- read.table("JanuaryAvBurntArea.txt", header=TRUE) Error in

I've spent some time trying to wrap my head around reading in large csv files with the ff-package. I think I know how to do it, but am bumping into some problems. I've tried to recreate the issues as best as I can with a smaller example and maybe someone can help explain the problems. The following code just creates a csv file with an integer column, character column and logical column.

If read.csv's colClasses= argument is NOT used then read.csv accepts double quoted numerics: 1: > read.csv(stdin()) 0: A,B 1: "1",1 2: "2",2 3: A B 1 1 1 2 2 2 However, if colClasses is used then it seems that it does not: > read.csv(stdin(), colClasses = "numeric") 0: A,B 1: "1",1 2: "2",2 3: Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep,

Hola, Estoy tratando de leer una base de datos: tengo 39 columnas, de las cuales 38 son variables y una es el nombre de las empresas.

I'm trying to import a table into R the file is about 700MB. Here's my first try: > DD<-read.table("01uklicsam-20070301.dat",header=TRUE) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 15.6 Mb In addition: Warning messages: 1: In scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size) 2: In scan(file, what,

Hi all, I'm running the program sem on a Mac, but I'm getting a message that I think is quite general. The error reads Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : scan() expected 'a real', got '10652)' The 10652 is the sample size coming from a .csv file where I have header = TRUE. Any thoughts would be

Hi! It seems that read.table() in R 3.0.1 (Linux 64-bit) does not consider quoted integers as an acceptable value for columns for which colClasses="integer". But when colClasses is omitted, these columns are read as integer anyway. For example, let's consider a file named file.dat, containing: "1" "2" > read.table("file.dat",

Hi, I'm using R version 3.0.2. While I executed the following command filedata <- read.csv(file, header=TRUE, colClasses="character") I got the warning message: In scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines,  ... : EOF within quoted string I'd like to know what this means? And how shall I fix the problem? Thank you for your help. Best, Chia-Chieh Lin

Dear R-users, I have encountered the following problem every now and then. But I was dealing with a very small dataset before, so it wasn't a problem (I just edited the dataset in Openoffice speadsheet). This time I have to deal with many large datasets containing commuting flow data. I appreciate if anyone could give me a hint or clue to get out of this problem. I have a .dat file

I found it easy to use R when typing data manually into it. Now I need to read data from a file, and I get the following errors: > refdata = > read.table("K:\\MerchantData\\RiskModel\\refund_distribution.csv", header > = TRUE) Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 1 did not have 42 elements > refdata = >

Hola, sin indicar los tipos de variables si los lee, pero el problema está en que necesito calcular una matriz de correlaciones y genera el siguiente error: Error in cor(Variables) : 'x' must be numeric Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2015 20:35:40 +0100 Subject: Re: [R-es] Problema con la lectura de datos From: cof en qualityexcellence.es To: valeagui en outlook.es CC: r-help-es en r-project.org

Hi, I am looking for an efficient way of skipping big chunks of lines on a connection (not necessarily at the beginning of the file). One way is to use read lines, e.g. readLines(1e6), but a) this incurs the overhead of construction of the return char vector and b) has a (fairly remote) potential to blow up the memory. Another way would be to use scan(), e.g. scan(con, skip=1e6, nmax=0)

Dear Experienced R Practitioners, I have 4GB .txt data called "dataset.txt" and have attempted to use *ff, bigmemory, filehash and sqldf *packages to import it, but have had no success. The readLines output of this data is: readLines("dataset.txt",n=20) [1] " "

I have a file in stata format, which I have read in, and I am trying to create a text file. I have exported the data using various delimiters, but I'm unable to read it back in. I originally read in the file with: library(foreign) myData <- read.dta("mydata.dta") I then exported it with write.table using comma, tab, and exclamation marks as a delimiter. When I was unable to

Hello fellow R users, I am trying to read a 6.9 million row text file with 26 columns separated by spaces into R using ff. When I specify a small number for first.rows, next.rows and nrows it is read with no issue. However, when I try to specify larger next.rows values and no nrows parameter to read the entire file, I keep getting errors. Please see code below. I am trying to this on a m1.large
