Hi Juliane, 

re-reading your email, you told that want a table with x, y and values.
How about you explain a little bit about what you means at the end of your analyzis? It will help our community help you.

best wishes,

Dear Juliane, 

It depents what you want with the data.
You can, for example, use import.asc function (adehabitat package; rename your file from .txt to .asc), 

or try rgdal package.

Of course, you can also use 
   read.table("myfile.txt", header=F, skip = 6) and deal your data as matrix.

good luck,

Dear list,

I am trying to read ArcGIS raster data sets into R after converting them into ASCII .txt file. The text file I am trying to read contains

ncols         250
nrows         276
xllcorner     344147.19411119
yllcorner     3024657.6122834
cellsize      0.19970250725746
NODATA_value  -9999

in the first lines followed by a grid of values that are either -9999 or 1.

I have used read.table("myfile.txt") which yields this (first 10 lines).


V1            V2
1          ncols  2.500000e+02
2          nrows  2.760000e+02
3      xllcorner  3.441472e+05
4      yllcorner  3.024658e+06
5       cellsize  1.997025e-01
6      NODATA_value -9.999000e+03
7          -9999 -9.999000e+03
8          -9999 -9.999000e+03
9          -9999 -9.999000e+03
10        -9999 -9.999000e+03

I would like to have the data as a table with coordinates for each cell and the actual value.

Could somebody advise me which function I should use ?

Many thanks,

Juliane
