scan - open text file as list
Hi Hermann,
This isn't much more elegant, but
test.list<-sapply(test,function(x) { strsplit(x," ") },simplify=TRUE)
names(test.list)<-NULL

Hello,
I try to open a text file test.txt with the content
* a b d
* z u i h hh
* h bh kk
so that I get a list with each line as a vector with the letters as
elements of the the vector.
My approach ...
test <- scan ("test.txt", what="character", sep="\n")
Read 3 items
test.list <- lapply (test, function (x) {a <- unlist (strsplit(x," ")); a
<- a[-1]})
test.list
[[1]] [1] "a" "b" "d" [[2]] [1] "z" "u" "i" "h" "hh" [[3]] [1] "h" "bh" "kk" ... the result is okay but I dont think it is an elegant solution. One comment: I dont know how many lines my "real" test.txt will have. Thanks Hermann [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
