read.table with numeric row names

[kexinz]

I have a text file like this
         2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9
100   3      4       2     3
200   3.1   4      3      3
300   2.2   3.3   2     4

I used "r <- read.table("a.txt", header=T)"
The row names becomes X2.5, X3.6... What I need is the row names are numeric, so I can use the row names as numbers on x-axis for plotting. e.g. "plot(colMeans(r)~names(r))", something like this. How to do this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try this:

dat1<-read.table(text="
 2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9
 100  3      4      2    3
 200  3.1  4      3      3
 300  2.2  3.3  2    4
 ",sep="",header=TRUE)
#Either

colnames(dat1)<-c("2.5","3.6","7.1","7.9")
#or

colnames(dat1)<-c(2.5,3.6,7.1,7.9)
#produce character column names


 is.character(colnames(dat1))
[1] TRUE
 is.numeric(colnames(dat1))
[1] FALSE


dat1
    2.5 3.6 7.1 7.9
100 3.0 4.0   2   3
200 3.1 4.0   3   3
300 2.2 3.3   2   4

[Yasir Kaheil]

just do this:
colnames(r)<-substr(colnames(r),2,nchar(colnames(r)))

This will remove the X.
Later when you want to use the headed to plot something, cast it as numeric:
plot(colMeans(r)~as.numeric(colnames(r)))

[kexinz]

Thanks Yasir, this helps a lot.
BTW, is there an R command to read just the first line of the file?

Thanks, but I don't want to specify the column names by hand, since I have a lot of similar files.

Hello,

I saw your reply in nabble.  Sorry about that.  I thought the dataset had only few columns.

#You can read first line of a file using:
readLines("foo.txt",n=1)[1]


#The more generic colname substitution
dat1<-read.table(text="
 2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9
 100  3      4      2    3
 200  3.1  4      3      3
 300  2.2  3.3  2    4
 ",sep="",header=TRUE) 
#The code should remove the "X" from the column names (row names?)

colnames(dat1)<-gsub("^[X](.*)","\\1",colnames(dat1))
dat1
    2.5 3.6 7.1 7.9
100 3.0 4.0   2   3
200 3.1 4.0   3   3
300 2.2 3.3   2   4
plot(colMeans(dat1)~as.numeric(names(dat1)),xlab="Column_Name",ylab="Column_Mean")

scan() or readLines() will read as many lines of the file as you want.
Use the file() function to open a "file connection" so a subsequent
read.table() will start where scan() or readLines() finished.  E.g.,

  > tfile <- tempfile()
  > cat(file=tfile, " 2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9
  +  100  3      4      2    3
  +  200  3.1  4      3      3
  +  300  2.2  3.3  2    4
  + ") # now tfile looks like your example file
  > read.table(header=TRUE, tfile) # easy way, but not what you want
      X2.5 X3.6 X7.1 X7.9
  100  3.0  4.0    2    3
  200  3.1  4.0    3    3
  300  2.2  3.3    2    4
  > fileConn <- file(tfile, open="r")
  > scan(fileConn, what=0.0, nlines=1)
  Read 4 items
  [1] 2.5 3.6 7.1 7.9
  > read.table(header=FALSE, fileConn)
     V1  V2  V3 V4 V5
  1 100 3.0 4.0  2  3
  2 200 3.1 4.0  3  3
  3 300 2.2 3.3  2  4
  > str(.Last.value)
  'data.frame':   3 obs. of  5 variables:
   $ V1: int  100 200 300
   $ V2: num  3 3.1 2.2
   $ V3: num  4 4 3.3
   $ V4: int  2 3 2
   $ V5: int  3 3 4
   > close(fileConn) # clean up

Hi Peter,

I copied the data from your email and run it again.

dat1<-read.table(text="
  2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9
  100  3      4      2    3
  200  3.1  4      3      3
  300  2.2  3.3  2    4
  ",sep="",header=TRUE)

dat1
    X2.5 X3.6 X7.1 X7.9
100  3.0  4.0    2    3
200  3.1  4.0    3    3
300  2.2  3.3    2    4


colnames(dat1)<-gsub("^[X](.*)","\\1",colnames(dat1))


I am  not sure what happened with your end.  May be you could try
readtable(...., fill=TRUE)

I guess Chi was able to read it as I understood from his email:
("Thanks. It works very good.Chi"

A.K.

More likely, I need something to filter out oddball characters inserted by Nabble or one of the mail agents. Watch this: Cut+paste from arun (22:17), Chi (07:09), and arun (07:08)

Error in read.table(text = " \n 2.5  3.6  7.1  7.9 \n 100  3      4      2    3 \n 200  3.1  4      3      3 \n 300  2.2  3.3  2    4 \n ",  :
  more columns than column names

The clue seems to be that the 3rd variant has a trailing space added to each line. No big deal, just drove me up the wall for while this afternoon...
