Hi, I read in some tabular data using this: > read.table(file, quote = "\"", header = TRUE, sep = "\t", > stringsAsFactors > = FALSE, comment.char = "")
One slight problem I have now is that some columns in the data set contain either "" or "+", which means FALSE or TRUE respectively. The command results in those columns being numeric with "NA" corresponding to the empty case and "0" to the "+"-case. Is there any smart way of making read table rendering these columns boolean to start with? Thanks for any insight, Joh ______________________________________________ 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.
