I am trying to write a function to check unusual values in my datasets and correct them. As some R users suggested, I try to use readline() and scan() in my function. Suppose there are several unusual values in a dataset. I want to change the line numbers in scan() to something like: unusual value 1, unusual value 2 and so on. I think this can make the correction much easier.
Read the data in and process them. scan() is not the right tool for that. It is a low level function on which read.table and its kin are based. (Also ... do read the Posting Guide and learn to include context in your questions.)
