Reading in a dataset with uneven variable lengths
One possibility is to use read.fwf(). Andy
From: Owen, Jason Suppose I have a text file that I want to read into R like the following: X Y 649 699 657 891 714 632 849 727 721 597 791 868 874 652 405 978 733 549 790 This is a simple example -- I could have a huge file with many columns of unequal lengths. What is the best way to do it? I can't see how a data frame can be used. I checked the FAQ and did a web search on the topic but I came up empty. Jason
