I am beginner in R and I want to read a ASCII file to R environment. However, the ASCII file is a non delimited and the data is not continuous (have some blank spaces between the variables) so in order to read the data i have used the below syntax i.e test <- read.fwf("D:/R_process/ASCII.txt", width = c(10, 4, 1, 4, 9, 9, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,8))
Now i am able to read it but the data read is wrong. Actually my out put should have only the applicable variables data but not the blank data. Attached is the ASCII data. Please let me know how should i write the syntax to read only the applicable data in the file. Thanks for your help in advance. test.txt <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4709699/test.txt> -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Cross-tabulation-with-top-one-variable-and-side-as-multiple-variables-tp4708379p4709699.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
