Dear Michael, There was an email thread midst June 2003 on a related issue. The suggestions made there will certainly help you Have a look for thread "Programcode and data in the same textfile" (just type it into the R Site Search, and the thread will come up). I recall that read.table() has an argument skip which allows the first lines to be skipped, see ?read.table for details. The manual "R Data Import/Export" is very useful as well. Please provide a meaningful subject that makes searching the archives easier.

-----Original Message----- From: michael kirschbaum [mailto:kirschenmichel at gmx.de] Sent: 15 July 2003 14:56 To: r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] (no subject) Hi I got a problem with creating a textfile: how can I create a textfile, which has a headline like: #data1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 the problem is, how to bind text and matrix, so that the "read.table"-function will ignore the text and read the numbers. Thank you for help Michael -- 2
