Re: [R] read table and import of a text file

Hi, No problem. dat1 <- subset(head(read.table("temp1.txt",skip=6,sep=",",header=FALSE,fill=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE),-1),select=1:4)  dat1$V1 <- as.numeric(dat1$V1)  str(dat1) #'data.frame':    96409 obs. of  4 variables: # $ V1: num  891231 900101 900101 900101 900101 ... # $ V2: int  2400

Re: [R] read table and import of a text file

Hi, The code is based on what you pasted on the page. In the original post, you used sep="", while the pasted data shows "," as delimiter. dat1 <- subset(head(read.table(text="#Hogd/met, Temp, 005[M], Value #Hogd/met, Difftemp, 051[M], Value BA0+ 1 MTEMP005 1 [deg.C] 2 MDTMP051 1 [deg.C] EOH 8912

Re: [R] read table and import of a text file

Hi, Assuming that you provided the sample data from the file. temp <- readLines(textConnection("#Hogd/met, Temp, 005[M], Value #Hogd/met, Difftemp, 051[M], Value BA0+ 1 MTEMP005 1 [deg.C] 2 MDTMP051 1 [deg.C] EOH 891231, 2400, -1.5, -0.21, 900101, 0100, -1.4, -0.25, 900101, 0200, -1.6, -0.28, 9001
