Is there a better way to do the following? I have data in a number of tab
delimited files. I am using read.delim() to read them, in a loop. I am
invoking my code on Linux Fedora 20, from the BASH command line, using
Rscript. The code I'm using looks like:
arguments <- commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE);
# initialize the capped_data data.frame
capped_data <- data.frame(lpar="NULL",
started=Sys.time(),
ended=Sys.time(),
stringsAsFactors=FALSE);
# and empty it.
capped_data <- capped_data[-1,];
#
# Read in the data from the files listed
for (file in arguments) {
data <- read.delim(file,
header=FALSE,
col.names=c("lpar","started","ended"),
as.is=TRUE,
na.strings='\\N',
colClasses=c("character","POSIXct","POSIXct"));
capped_data <- rbind(capped_data,data)
}
#
I.e. is there an easier way than doing a read.delim/rbind in a loop?
