Hi All: I am trying to use read.fwf and encountering the following error below. Any ideas on what I can do? I tried to use read.table (and the default for read.table is space) and it works. I am not sure why read.fwf is not working
test_data_frame = read.fwf(file="small.txt",widths=width_vec,header=FALSE) Error in file(FILENAME, "a") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(FILENAME, "a") : cannot open file 'C:\temp\RtmpLN6W00\Rfwf.2ea6bb3': No such file or directory > **** code below setwd("d:/edump_data/11x4_2009") current = as.Date("2009/10/25") current = chron("10/25/2009", format="m/d/y") next_date = current + 7 prev_date = current - 7 last_date = current - 7*156 #156 buckets in the past, one current bucket and 52 future buckets. Total is 209 buckets future_dates = seq.dates(next_date,by='weeks',length=52) past_dates = seq.dates(last_date,by='weeks',length=156) num_buckets = rep(14,209) width_vec = c(62,num_buckets) test_data_frame = read.fwf(file="small.txt",widths=width_vec,header=false) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
