Chi Square with two tab-delimited text files
It's a bit difficult to advise without knowing what the rows and columns represent, but why not just calculate the statistic yourself, given that you already have observed and expected values? For example: chi2 <- sum((y-x)^2/x)

Hi, I want to do a chi square test and I have two tab delimited text files
with
Expected and Observed values to compare. Each file contains only the
values <snip> There are a lot of chi^2 tests, most of them compare O&E quantities and it is not clear which one you want to use. I'd guess a goodness of fit test, but who knows? See ?chisq.test and the examples given there. It also tells you that the y-argument is ignored if x is a matrix (that's probably the reason why you get different results using read.table and scan).
