I have a data file that looks like this.
__DATA__
D7KAR5Z02F447V 176 G 0.22
D7KAR5Z02J3WLG 94 A 1.05 29
D7KAR5Z02F4K6L 198 a 0.13
D7KAR5Z02J4SYO 67 C 0.95 28
D7KAR5Z02J4SYO 83 C 1.01 29
D7KAR5Z02J4SYO 97 T 0.13
D7KAR5Z02J4SYO 166 A 0.94 27
I want the rows where the last column has no-entry to be filled
with "-".
Is there a way to do it with read.table?
I don't find any option to do it with read.table.
This only fill the empty 5th column with blank.
dat <- read.table("myfile.txt",na.strings="-",header=FALSE,fill=T);
G.V.
