Good evening, I am attempting to download Genomic data from the GDC onto R for analysis and am experiencing some difficulty. I have downloaded the GDC data into an Excel, CSV, and notepad (.txt) file and implemented what I believe to be the proper arguments, with every attempting failing to properly load the data onto R. The following is the various attempts I made in trying to take one of these files (a translated version of the GDC data) and load it into R .
> load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv") Error in load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv") : bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded In addition: Warning message: file ‘LGG Drug (CSV).csv’ has magic number 'MANIF' Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated > LGG Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv",header=TRUE,sep=",") Error: unexpected symbol in "LGG Drug" > LGG Drug<-read.table("C: Error: unexpected symbol in "LGG Drug" > load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt") Error in load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt") : bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded In addition: Warning message: file ‘DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt’ has magic number 'MANIF' Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated > GBM Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt",header=TRUE,sep="") Error: unexpected symbol in "GBM Drug" > GBM Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt",header=TRUE,sep="\t") Error: unexpected symbol in "GBM Drug" > GBM Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt",header=TRUE,sep="") Error: unexpected symbol in "GBM Drug" > GBM Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM.txt",header=TRUE,sep="\t") Error: unexpected symbol in " GBM Drug" > load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM(word wrap).txt") Error in load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM(word wrap).txt") : bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded In addition: Warning message: file ‘DRUG TRIAL GBM(word wrap).txt’ has magic number 'MANIF' Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated > GBM Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM(word wrap).txt",header=TRUE,sep="") Error: unexpected symbol in "GBM Drug" Any insight into what perhaps I am inputting that is causes this reoccurring error? Any suggestions as to another procedure for moving forward would be greatly appreciated!
