Error in read.table
r
Solution
In `read.table` the argument `row.names` has to be inputted with a number (i. e. the column number that contains the row names) or a vector of names. See `?read.table` for a complete explanation. Here:
data1 <- read.table('test',header=T,sep=" ",row.names=1)
Problem
I am unable to specify the correct argument for `row.names` in the function `read.table()` here is simple text: ``` name sex age height 1 x1 F 18 162 2 x2 M 19 170 3 x3 M 21 178 4 x4 F 22 166 5 x5 F 23 165 ``` when i read: ``` data1=read.table('test',head=T,sep='',row.names=T) invalid 'row.names' specification data1=read.table('test',head=T,sep='',row.names=T) invalid 'row.names' specification ``` Other info: ``` > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major 2 minor 15.1 year 2012 month 06 day 22 svn rev 59600 language R version.string R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) nickname Roasted Marshmallows ```
