Hello everybody,
I'm a newbie in R and just went through an introduction class recently.
Here's my problem.
I have 2 text files (.txt) with plain numbers ('doubles' for those who
know c++) ordered into 2 columns as below:
coordinate1 value1
coordinate2 value2
coordinate3 value3
... ...
coordinateN valueN
I would like to write a small programme in which i would:
1. take all values of file 1 and store them in a vector
2. substract to those all values of file 2 (one by one) and store the
result in a new vector
3. Create a sliding window of chosen size and calculate the
mathematical average and store these averages in a new vector
4. Plot the different graphes with a bar plot
So I wrote a c++ script that does the first parts and writes the
averages in a output.txt file (which I have up and running).
Unfortunately, I seem to fail in reading these as numbers and putting
them into a vector (in the R environment). I can read the file , but
this is what I get:
> z=scan(file = "/Users/NCCRGENETICS/Desktop/testRnumbers.txt", what
= "double")
Read 19 items
> z
[1] "{\\rtf1\\ansi\\ansicpg1252\\cocoartf949\\cocoasubrtf430"
[2] "{\\fonttbl\\f0\\fswiss\\fcharset0"
[3] "Helvetica;}"
[4] "{\\colortbl;\\red255\\green255\\blue255;}"
[5] "\\paperw11900\\paperh16840\\margl1440\\margr1440\\vieww9000\
\viewh8400\\viewkind0"
[6] "\\pard\\tx566\\tx1133\\tx1700\\tx2267\\tx2834\\tx3401\\tx3968\
\tx4535\\tx5102\\tx5669\\tx6236\\tx6803\\ql\\qnatural\\pardirnatural"
[7] "\\f0\\fs24"
[8] "\\cf0"
[9] "13\\" // This is where my file "should" start
reading the numbers I see in the window when I open it with textedit
[10] "27\\"
[11] "39\\"
[12] "48\\"
[13] "34\\"
[14] "17\\"
[15] "23\\"
[16] "45\\"
[17] "23\\"
[18] "4\\"
[19] "}"

Thanks so much to any of you who could provoid a little help... I'm
getting nuts.
