在R中读取txt文件时出错

Question

I Had a text file but failed to load the data due to the following message

tnf100m <- read.fwf("100mM.txt", widths = c(12,9,13,31,3,13,11,25,10), header = FALSE, col.names = c("ID","time","wind", "Name","country","birth","heat","Location","date"),stringsAsFactors = F)

Error in substring(x, first, last) : 
          '<b1>0.0<20>   Usain Bolt                     JAM     21.08.86    1      Beijing                  16.08.2008'

The 100mM.txt looks like the following:

1      9.58       +0.9   Usain Bolt    JAM     21.08.86    1      Berlin           16.08.2009
2      9.63       +1.5   Usain Bolt    JAM     21.08.86    1      London                   05.08.2012
3      9.69       ?0.0   Usain Bolt    JAM     21.08.86    1      Beijing                  16.08.2008

How to read the text?

Answer 1

How about changing the input values of widths ?

I can read the file (a .txt file containing the text you provided) using widths = c(1,10,11,13,7,13,5,14,27) .

> read.fwf("D:/Users/perry/Downloads/100mM.txt", 
+          widths = c(1,10,11,13,7,13,5,14,27), 
+          header = FALSE, col.names = c("ID","time","wind", "Name","country","birth","heat","Location","date"), 
+          stringsAsFactors = F)
  ID time        wind          Name country         birth heat       Location                        date
