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," "));
[[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
