[R] split character line into rows

[arun]

Hi,

It would be helpful if you dput() the data.
If I read your data like this:
dat1<-read.table(text="
 2010.12.26 00:00:52    688,88 11,69    43,00
  11,69    43,00
   11,69    43,00
   11,69    43,00
   11,69    43,00
 2010.12.26 00:01:52    696,19    11,69    43,00
",sep="",header=FALSE,fill=TRUE,dec=",",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)


 dat2<-na.omit(dat1)
dat2
#          V1       V2     V3    V4 V5
#1 2010.12.26 00:00:52 688.88 11.69 43
#6 2010.12.26 00:01:52 696.19 11.69 43


#or
dat1[complete.cases(dat1),]

A.K.

[65] 11,69     43,00
[66] 11,69     43,00
..................................... etc.

Is there a way to split data into date column, V2, V3 and V4 columns and
erase those lines without date, so that data would look like that:

date                             V2       V3       V4
2010.12.26 00:01:52     555     11.67     44
2010.12.26 00:02:52     566     11.67     44

etc.

Thanks a lot!
