Hi all, I have the following raw data some records don't have the second variable.
test <- read.table(textConnection(" Country STATUS USA USA W USA W GER GER W GER w GER W UNK W UNK UNK W FRA FRA FRA W FRA W FRA W SPA SPA W SPA "),header = TRUE, sep= "\t") test It is not reading it correctly. Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines, na.strings, : line 17 did not have 2 elements After reading I want change the status column to numeric so that I can use the table function test$STATUS <- ifelse(is.na(test$STATUS), 0, 1) at the end I want the following table (Country, Won, Lost , Number of games played and % of score ) and pick the top 3 countries. COUNTRY Won Lost NG %W USA 2 1 3 (2/3)*100 GER 3 1 4 (3/4)*100 UNK 2 1 3 (2/3)*100 FRA 3 2 5 (3/5)*100 SPA 1 2 3 (1/3)*100 Thank you in advance ______________________________________________ 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.
