Importing Data from a delimited file
R has a function read.delim() to read the delimited files into the list. The file is by default separated by a tab which is represented by sep=””, that separated can be a comma(, ), dollar symbol($), etc.
Syntax: read.delim(“file_name.txt”, sep=””, header=TRUE)
R
x <- read.delim("D://Data//myfile.csv", sep="|", header=TRUE)# print xprint(x)# print type of xtypeof(x) |
Output:
X.V1.V2.V3
1 1, 100, a1, b1
2 2, 200, a2, b2
3 3, 300, a3, b3
