Dear all, I am stuck the reading of a file which has 100s of rows and variable column counts.
The tab-limited data file looks something like: Some_Text 1 3 123 1534 -119 1010 178 Some_Taxt 1 3 133 1434 -219 1010 178 Some_Tsxt 1 3 244 1334 -319 1010 178 Some_Tfxt 1 3 153 1234 -419 1010 178 Some_Trxt 1 3 163 1234 -519 1010 178 When I try reading it using: rawData=read.table("Datafile.dat", fill=FALSE, sep="\t", header=FALSE); I get something like Some_Text 1 3 123 1534 -119 1010 178 Some_Taxt 1 3 133 1434 -219 1010 178 1010 Some_Tsxt 1 3 244 1334 -319 1010 178 Some_Tfxt 1 3 153 1234 -419 1010 178 -419 Some_Trxt 1 3 163 1234 -519 1010 178 I am not sure what this is. It also appear to be quenching some of the columns, which may be the problem. My current maximum is around 250, but this is not determined. When importing it the maximum table size seems to stop at 146. Has anyone seen this before?
