Hi all
I am trying to read in a table from a survey
and get the error below
gr12 <- read.table("gr12.csv", header=TRUE)
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines,
na.strings,
:
line 1 did not have 249 elements
You need to split this problem in sections, the first of which is
getting your data into R. A very useful function to look at files is
count.fields(). See what it produces with your file and also read:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html
... If you have missing data elements at the ends of input lines then
perhaps fill=TRUE will be helpful.
how would I go about reading in a table of this data, I am trying to
generate a series of crostabs after I get it in
ie Gender vs q1 q2 q3 q4...
Religion vs q1 q2 q3...
Solve the input problem first then table() or xtabs() as approapriate.
any help would be appreciated
