You should skip the first 3 rows by using option skip=3 and set header=FALSE, which defaults to TRUE. But you could also use the 3rd row as header, doing so by setting skip=2.
z <-read.csv(pathname, skip=3, header=F) or z <-read.csv(pathname, skip=2) (By the way, it is obvious not necessary to set sep="," in read.csv!) hth. mysimbaa schrieb: > Dear R users, > I try to read .csv composed of two rows which are separated with coma in the > followin manner: > 1.ignore the three first lines > 2. read datas separated with coma. > > I tried the following : > pathname <- file.choose() > z <-read.csv(pathname, sep = "," ) > t=z[,1] > p=z[,2] > > But when I tape p I have NULL !!! > > My .csv is looking like : > > 0011J06 > 2008 Mrz 17 11:15 > Sample #, Measurement > 1, -9.998E-6 > 2, 5.099E-4 > 3, 3.999E-5 > 4, 2.999E-4 > 5, 2.099E-4 > > Thanks for help. > Adel > > -- Eik Vettorazzi Institut für Medizinische Biometrie und Epidemiologie Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf Martinistr. 52 20246 Hamburg T ++49/40/42803-8243 F ++49/40/42803-7790 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
