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):
Warning message:
In readLines(file, n = thisblock) :
  incomplete final line found on 'C:\Users\format3_1.txt'
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. I'm also unsure as to what the
error message means.

Thanks in advance for your help!

L?a

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.

            

      
      
      
    

        
It's not an error. It's only a warning. It just menans there is not  
end of line marker on the last line.
