Dear R users, [IF THE FORMAT OF MY EMAIL IS NOT CLEAR, I HAVE ATTACHED A TEXT FILE FOR A CLEAR VIEW] I would like to use the R output file in Fortran. my file s extacly in the following format. ELISA/BOTTO wATER INN FROM 1900 11 1 TO 1996 12 31 1901.11. 1 447.000 1901.11. 2 445.000 1901.11. 3 445.000 1924.11. 4 445.000 1924.11. 5 449.000 1924.11. 6 442.000 1924.11. 7 445.000 so you can see that there is a single space, in between these lines and also a single space from left margin. i would like to keep the left margin space, but really like to eliminate the space between the lines so that i get an output text file which could look like ELISA/BOTTO wATER INN FROM 1900 11 1 TO 1996 12 31 1901.11. 1 447.000 1901.11. 2 445.000 1901.11. 3 445.000 1924.11. 4 445.000 1924.11. 5 449.000 1924.11. 6 442.000 1924.11. 7 445.000 As i am working in fortran i would really like to keep the said format. THANKS IN ADVANCE ELISA
