I download a csv extract from a database and use read.csv to read it from R and when there are large character fields with embedded blanks, slashes etc. - R often sees one line as two lines (or more).
I verfied with readLines that an embedded blank in a character field causes a spurious new line to be seen. I am sure this problem has beem seen before - and would appreciate any help in reading such files. ______________________________________________ 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.
