similar to: dealing with a messy dataset

It looks like fixed width. I just used the last position of each field to get the size and used the 'readr' package; > input <- "And XVIII 000214.5+450520 0.69 17 9 0.00 -8.7 26.8 6.44 6.78 < 6.65 -44 0.5 MESSIER031 0.6 1.54 + PAndAS-03 000356.4+405319 0.10 17 0.00 -3.6 27.8 4.38 2.8 MESSIER031

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

You should be able to use that header information to create the correct parameters to the read_fwf function to read in the data.

Is this a fixed width format? If so, read.fwf() in base, or read_fwf() in the readr package will solve the problem. You may need to trim trailing spaces though.

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

Hello, A simple question perhaps, but how do I, within each row, find the first occurence of the number 1 in the df below? I want to use this position to programmatically create the variable 'year'. I'v come up with a solution, but I find it downright ugly. Is there a simpler way? I was hoping for a useful built-in function that I don;t yet know about. df <-

Hello all, I've been invited to do a presentation on Asterisk for the Ohio Linuxfest in Columbus this weekend (http://www.ohiolinux.org). Rough estimates are that nearly 500 people will be attending. I've been working on an outline for a couple of weeks and I would like to have some peer review of the information presented. I am going to have to cut down the content to make it fit in

Hola a todos, Tengo un pequeño problemilla... Tengo unas 9000 variables que he contrastado con 1 en concreto con el test de wilcoxon. He calculado el p-valor, y queria corregirlo con el permutation-based FDR. He encontrado una funcion con R comp.fdr()que hace esta corrección, pero te pide que le pongas las variables con las observaciones y te hace el test (según he entendido). Yo solo quiero

Thank you! I greatly appreciate your consideration, though of course it is up to you. I think many people switch to stringr/stringi simply because functions in those packages have some consistent design choices, for example, they do not drop empty/missing matches, which facilitates array-based programming. For example, in the cases where one needs to make a new column in a data.frame (data.table,

Dear All, I usually work with time series data. The data may come in AM/PM date format or on 24 hour time basis. R can not recognize the two differences automatically - at least for me. I have to specifically tell R in which time format the data is. It seems that Pandas knows how to handle date without being told the format. The problem arises when I try to shift time by a certain time. Say

How difficult is it to get a good feel for the internals of R, if you want to learn the general code base, but also the CPU intensive stuff ( much of it in C or Fortran?) and the ways in which the general code and the CPU intensive stuff is connected together? R has a very large audience, but my understanding is that only a small group have a good understanding of the internals (and some of those

Thank you, I am aware that there are packages that can accomplish this. I mentioned stringr::str_extract as a function that does not drop empty matches. I think that the behavior of regmatches(..., regexpr(...))?in base R should permit an option to prevent dropping of empty matches both for sake of consistency with the rest of the language (missing data does not yield a dropped index in other

Hi Renato, Thank you very much for the directions, I am going to recommit my fix. What are hardware used in buildbots? Are these common boards like PandaBoard or some thing special?

Hi everyone, I just finished installing the current git of the nouveau driver for my NV49 based 7950GTX. I attempted this because I've been continually frustrated by the constantly degrading 2D performance of X under the nvidia and nv drivers. Webpages that do any kind of compositing in Mozilla will burn CPU all day long. I'm happy to say that I'm writing because I didn't have

Hola Carlos, bueno la verdad es que mi pregunta era algo general, cuando no has usado data.table no parece muy intuitivo pasar de la forma de programar a la que estás más acostumbrado (bucles, notación matricial...) a esa otra. Aun no tengo un cálculo complejo concreto pero lo tendré que hacer... solo quería saber si se puede, y parece que sí, asi que será cuestión de empaparse un poco de

Hi, I am using reticulate and a virtual environment (not conda) to run Python scripts from RStudio. However, when I try to use my own (existing) virtual environment, reticulate does not use it. If I run my scripts, the installed modules (e.g., py_install("pandas", "mmstat4.hu.data")) are not found. I believe this happens because reticulate is using r-reticulate instead of

Have you tried https://rstudio.github.io/reticulate/ ? Generally speaking, complex nonstandard package specific questions such as yours rarely get a reply here -- there are 20,000+ packages (and counting) after all! As reticulate was created by and integrated with RStudio/Posit, I would think their site and help resources might be a better venue. Of course, if you don't use RStudio, you may

1) What is easy for one person may be very hard for another, so your question is really unanswerable. You do need to know C and Fortran to get through the source code. Get started soon reading the R Internals document if it sounds interesting to you... you are bound to learn something even if you don't stick with it. If you have questions about the internals though, you should read the Posting
