embedding data frame in R code?
I'm not sure I entirely understand the question, but the closest thing
I can think of to a data frame literal, excepting dput(), would be
this:
d <- read.csv(textConnection("
a, b
1, cow
2, dog
3, cat"), header = TRUE)
and you probably want closeAllConnections() immediately following to
avoid a warning.
Best,
Michael

I would like to insert a few modest size data frames directly into my R code. a short illustration example of what I want is d <- read.csv( _END_, row.names=1 ) , "col1", "col2" "row1",1,2 "row2",3,4 __END__ right now, the data sits in external files. I could put each column into its own vector and then combine into a data frame, but this seems ugly. is there a better way to embed data frames? I searched for the answer via google, but could not find it. it wasn't obvious in the data import/export guide. regards, /iaw ---- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch at gmail.com)
