Hello all, how do I import a Fortran file (f3.1) into one column in R? I've tried this (I'm a total beginner as you can see):
FortranData<-read.fwf("C:\\Users\\format3_1.txt",rep(3,20))
Warning message: In readLines(file, n = thisblock) : incomplete final line found on 'C:\Users\format3_1.txt'
FortranData
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6 V7 V8 V9 V10 V11 V12 V13 V14 V15 V16 V17 V18 V19 V20 1 2.2 3.3 4.2 2.1 3.4 2.3 2.3 4.2 2.1 3.4 2.3 2.3 4.2 2.1 3.4 2.3 2.3 4.2 2.1 3.4 As you can see, each datum gets imported into a separate column, whereas I'd like to have everything stored under V1.
Have you considered transposing the result? If this is a multiple line file that you wnat to "straighten out" completely you could first convert to matrix, transpose, and then wrap in c() to get a vector of values.
I'm also unsure as to what the error message means.
It's not an error. It's only a warning. It just menans there is not end of line marker on the last line.
Thanks in advance for your help! L?a -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Importing-from-Fortan-tp3889947p3889947.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
