[R] problem reading file containing bit vector

[jim holtman]

I think you want to make sure you read it is as character:

> x <- read.table(textConnection('"swissProtID"    "entrezID"    "bitVec"
+ "Q62924"             "---"    "00000000100010000000000000000000"
+ "P18897"             "---"    "00000000000001000100000000000000"
+ "Q62736"             "---"    "00001000001000000000001000000000"
+ "P13589"             "---"    "00100000010000010000000000000000"')
+     , colClasses = rep('character', 3)
+     , as.is = TRUE
+     , header = TRUE
+     )

> str(x)
'data.frame':   4 obs. of  3 variables:
 $ swissProtID: chr  "Q62924" "P18897" "Q62736" "P13589"
 $ entrezID   : chr  "---" "---" "---" "---"
 $ bitVec     : chr  "00000000100010000000000000000000"
"00000000000001000100000000000000" "00001000001000000000001000000000"
"00100000010000010000000000000000"
