similar to: Using read.table to read file created with read.table and qmethod = "escape"

In R 2.1.1, the default behaviour of scan() was changed to process all C-style escapes, even when a delimiter was specified using the 'sep' argument. A new argument 'allowEscapes' was introduced to turn this processing off. Because read.table() calls scan(), read.table() inherits the new default behaviour of scan() but without a way to turn it off. For example, reading a file

> url <- "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41902/22240.csv" > > read.csv(url)[, 1] [1] "oppose" NA "oppose" "support" > read.csv(url, header = F)[, 1] [1] "url" [2] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/109-hr-5825/387248" [3] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/110-hr-3546/378743" [4]

I am so frustrated about reading data from this sample csv file. My code is : >test=read.csv(file='test.csv',header=T) warning message: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'test.csv' >test [1] ??.?.. <0 rows> (or 0-length row.names) What is the problem here? Thanks

Hello All, This works, results <- read.table("plink.txt",T) while this doesn't. results <- read.table("plink.txt") Make sure your data frame contains columns CHR, BP, and P What does adding the "T" in read.table do? Which argument does this correspond to? I tried searching for it but didn't find the answer in: read.table(file, header = FALSE,

Hi I have a file saved in R, named agrexp.Rdata, shown below > agrdata fert yield 1 25 84 2 50 80 3 75 90 4 100 154 5 125 148 If I double clicked on this file, the data is displayed without problem. However if I tried to import using: > agrdata<-read.table("agrexp.Rdata") or >

hi, thanks to the feedback of some people I was able to solve my problem of reading data using the read.table function by using the file.choose function inside the method of the read.table function. Unfortunately, I encountered a new error message after I chose my file. After I unputted data = read.table(file.choose(), header = TRUE) I got an error saying: Error in scan(file = file, what =

Dear R developers, I find the format of descriptions of the arguments in the read.table help text slightly inconsistent. For example, the logical arguments comes in seven different formats, more or less explicit about the consequences of a TRUE (or FALSE): 1. check.names logical. If TRUE then the names... 2. blank.lines.skip logical: if TRUE blank lines... 3. flush logical: if TRUE,

Dear Sir / Madam, I am new for R coding. Kindly help me out in sorting out the following problem. There are 50 rows with six coloumns(you could see in the attached .txt file). I wish to go for filtering this 50 rows for any one of the six coloumns satisfying the value >= 64. I need to have a final table with rows having >= 64 value in any one of the six coloumns and the rest could be

Hello all, I have a data file table.txt which i have attached. I am trying to pass the columns as arguments to a function "totnorm" where i am displaying a total normalization plot.

Hi list, One of my co-workers found this problem with 'cor' in his code and I confirm it too (see below).

I was trying to save a data frame to an excel file using the following command: write.table(myData, file="myData.csv",sep=",", row.names=F) The command works for some data frames, but for other data frames, I get the following error: Error in if (inherits(X[[j]], "data.frame") && ncol(xj) > 1L) X[[j]] <- as.matrix(X[[j]]) : missing value where

Dear all, Some very wise data entry person gave me about an hour of a headache, trying to find out why a 2000x500 dataframe won't be read into R. After much trial and error, I pinpointed the problem to an accidentally inserted double quote into a string variable (some comments from an open question). This can be replicated by: aa <- data.frame(id=1:2, var1=c("some \"

Dear Rexperts: (R 2.0.1 on Windows XP Pro) Is the following problem unique to my setup? If it's a known problem, I didn't see it at http://bugs.r-project.org/ nor find discussion in the archives. plot(1:10) loc <- c(5, 6) text(loc, labels = "a") Produces expected results according to ?xy.coords. plot(1:10) loc <- list(x = 5, y = 6) text(loc, labels = "a") No

I'm using read.csv to read in a csv file containing '#' characters. For example, say I'm reading the following file (test.csv): var1,var2,var3 a,b,c d,e#,f g,h,i It outputs: > read.csv("Raw Data\\test.csv") var1 var2 var3 1 a b c 2 d e 3 g h i Warning message: incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'Raw Data\test.csv'

Good morning, Is there a way to get table() to default to including NAs - as in... table(..., useNA='ifany') or table(..., useNA='always') or table(..., exclude=NULL) ? I can't see a way under table() or options() or searching the archives (probably using the wrong keyword?). > t1 <- c(1,2,3,3,3,2,NA,NA,NA,NA) > table(t1) t1 1 2 3 1 2 3 I keep forgetting to
