Question

I have a csv with sep='\t'. When I try to read the csv using the following code, not all the rows are read.

data <- read.csv("raw.txt", sep='\t', header=T)

Most likely the reason being, the data has " (quote) in its text. How to read such a file?

Format of file is:

text           freq
he is "Sam"    45
...
Was it helpful?

Solution

Try this:

data <- read.csv("raw.txt", sep='\t', header=T,quote="")
