Subject: Reading a tab delimitted text
Dear group,
I have a tab delimitted text file with 21 column and
1988 rows. When I read the file:
D1 <-
read.table(file="gist_data1.txt",sep="\t",header=T)
> dim(D1)
[1] 1811 20
It reads only 1811 rows from that file.
I saved this file as CSV file and I read it again
using:
> D1 <-
read.csv(file="gist_data1.txt",sep=",",header=T)
> dim(D1)
[1] 1987 1
>
This timer it reaad correct number of rows and wrong
column numbers.
Can any one suggest how to read a tab-delimited text
file and read in corect number of lines.
thank you.
