[R] parsing a data file

[Eric Lecoutre]

Oups,

I realize i do remove the last value with my code...
Better remove then from text directly:


readRecords = function(file){

	tmptxt = readLines(file)
	tmptxt = paste(tmptxt,collapse=" ") # All as a single string
	tmptxt=substr(tmptxt, 6,nchar(tmptxt)-3)# remove BEGIN and END
	tmptxt = strsplit(tmptxt,"RECORD")[[1]]
	
	num = as.numeric(tmptxt)
	return(num)
}
