Problem reading a CSV
Hi, I have a CSV file where each row has at least 20 columns and some rows have up to 30 columns of data. When I use the command, Pathways<-read.table('MetaCycSample3.csv',sep=',',header=FALSE,quote='"') anything past the 21st column gets kicked down to a new row. How can I fix this? Thanks, -Nina

Change name of a specific column of a data frame
Hi, Sorry for the simple question. Is there a way to change the name of only one column of an existing data frame? I know colnames allows you to set the name of all the columns, but only one column in the middle of my data frame needs a new name. Thanks, -Nina

Ignore blank columns when reading a row from a table
Hi, I am extracting data from a table where the rows have different column lengths, and empty columns have NA in them. Whenever I extract a row with some empty columns, the resulting vector carries all the NAs. Is there a way to ignore the empty columns? Thanks, -Nina

Display variables when running a script
Hi, I know this must be a stupid question, and sorry in advance for being such a noob. But, is there way to get R to display only certain variables when running a script. I know if you want to see the value of a variable when using the interface, you just type it in and hit enter, but is there a command that I can use in a script file that will show the value at a certain point? Thanks, -Nina

Decoding subscripts/superscripts from CSVs
Hi, I have a CSV file with various biological reactions. Subscripts, superscripts, and italics are encoded in carats, and I was wondering if R can actually recognize those and print actual superscripts, etc. Here's an example: <i>S</i>-adenosyl-L-methionine + rRNA = <i>S</i>-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + rRNA containing

Problem reading from a data frame
Hi, I have a data frame with strings that have two letters and four numbers. When I store a whole row as a new vector and try to remove the preceding letters using the gsub command, it returns characters of single numbers that have no relation to the numbers in each string. I also noticed that when I view the new vector before using gsub, it includes the original headers from the data frame. For

Help with which()
Hi, I'm using which to find the position of a value in my data table, and it is returning the correct position and the position of another number that differs by an extra decimal place. For example, when I do: where1<-which(Operons==3573.1,arr.ind=TRUE) it returns the position of that number and of 3573.15. Is it possible to get the function to only return a position if the number

replace NA with 9999 in zoo object
This is the same set of data that I have been working with for those in the know. it is a matrix of ~174 columns and ~70,000 rows. I have it as a zoo object, but I could read it in as just a matrix as long as the date time stamp won't be corrupted. here is an example of what a column would look like: 1/1/06 12:00, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 ,7, NA #read in with the

I have a vector of numbers and another vector of a subset of those numbers. How can I create a third vector with all the numbers in the original list that aren't in the given subset. Like this: List1 subset --> result 1 1 2 2 3 3 4

Extract only certain rows from a table
Hi, I have a table where column 1 has ID numbers and column two has data, and I have a vector containing a subset of those ID numbers.
