Subject: Errors reading data file?
In-Reply-To: <20050302082421.73405.qmail@web25805.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>
Hi all --
I tried loading a data file with the following command:
> data = read.table("filename.txt", header = TRUE, sep = ",")
This appeared to work fine, except it silently skipped 400 records
(out of 1200). It turns out, some of the text fields included quotes,
and I needed to use 'quote = ""'.
Why wasn't there an error message? Is there some way to enable one?
