Question
I might just be crazy but I really can't see where I am going wrong on my simple R program. I am trying to read a table from a file but every time I try to it comes back with this error:
./tmp.r: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./tmp.r: line 1: `tmp <- read.table("/home/Data/run1.DOC.sample_summary",header=FALSE)'
The file I am trying to read from looks something like this:
Aim A_%_above_20 A_%_above_30 A_%_above_40
28 0.0 0.0 0.0
99 50 100.0 82.9
34 62.1 0.0 0.0
Here is my code:
tmp <- read.table("/home/Data/run1.DOC.sample_summary",header=FALSE)
names(tmp)
max_num <- max(tmp)
hist(tmp$'*_%_above_30',col=heat.colors(max_num), main='Percent in Test', xlab='Percent Covered')
Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here? I am just not seeing it. Thanks
Solution
Those tmp$'*_%_above_30'
really work in your last line ?
Also, try to put comments on different part of your code to see which one is making your code crash.
Finally, maybe it's just a bad encoding of some characters in your code. Try to rewrite it from scratch.
And how do you launch your script ?
OTHER TIPS
it this because you used wrong path name? e.g., try changing "home..." to "/home..."
