Explanation / Answer

PLEASE RATE ME AND AWARD MEKARMA POINTS IF IT IS HELPFUL FOR YOU Basics Flat Files (ASCII text, comma or tab delimited files) The menu commands in Rcommander handle most simple cases of loading data from a file into an R dataframe. The underlying functions tend to have more optional parameters and much greater flexibility and funcitonality. read.table() and scan() functions are sufficient for handling data in simple delimited text files. read.table() is intelligent enough to determine the data types of each variable, and if the variable names are in the first row, they can be directly assigned to the vector objects: testdata
