Colleagues,
I am trying to read a file written by Fortran. Several lines of the
file are pasted below:
101 06e+050280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 1 1
101 0.5 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 1 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 1.5 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 2 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 2.5 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 3 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 4 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
101 6 00280.9777.484208.18147.20.246350.4020.7308717.882600 0 0
The fortran format statement is:
(E3.0,E4.0,E5.0,E1.0,3E6.0,E5.0,E7.0,E5.0,E7.0,E6.0,E3.0,2F2.0)
The read.table command cannot parse the table correctly because there
are no spaces between columns. Although readLines reads the file, it
does not separate the elements into columns. I suspect that the
"what" option of "scan" accomplishes my intent although its
implementation is poorly document in help (or perhaps I am too dense
to understand it).
Can anyone advise as to an efficient means to read these data and
separate into columns?
Thanks.
