Subject: Scan and Lists
This may be a newbie question - although I did search for this error
message in the archives and via google and didn't see this error:
The help page for "scan" indicates that among the types of data
capable of being read are:
> "The supported types are 'logical', 'integer', 'numeric', 'complex', 'character', 'raw' and 'list':
> 'list' values should have elements which are one of the first six types listed or 'NULL'.
I have tried to use a list within a "what" list :
f <- scan(file="c:/test/testout.csv",what=list(hi=0.0,bye="",wave=list(1:1000)),sep=",",skip=1)
and the following error is returned:
"c:/test/testout.csv", what = list(hi = 0, bye = "", :
unimplemented type 'list' in 'extractItem'
So, is my syntax confusing R, or is the documentation wrong, or is it
some other, third, option?
Thanks
M
