[R] How to load data file without attribute names?

[jim holtman]

You need to follow the posting guide and show exactly what you did.  I
read in your data and can  print it.  You did not show what 'x', and
'y' were in your data:

> myData <- read.table('clipboard', sep=',')

> myData
  V1 V2 V3      V4     V5
1  1 72  0  5.6431 28.199
2  1 72  0 12.6660 28.447
3  1 72  0 19.6810 28.695
4  1 72  0 25.6470 28.905
> plot(myData$V4, myData$V5)

You need to at least do

str(x)
str(y)

to show what you are working with.
