Hello.
I have a text file with columns delimited by tabs. I have to convert it to a matrix. I have the following problems :
- sometimes, there is two or more tabs in a row. It means that there is a blank cell.
- sometime, two words are seperated by a point. When this happens, it doesn't mean that they are in different cells! Only the "tab" is a delimiter.
- the collumns and lines are not always the same lenght.
Exemple of one line :
00982 FILE 2 Dupont Mary, May FEMALE 23.04.1999 0 89 11 23 2.01.2017 14:02:30 168 55 19.49 128 LABHUTC Yes 789 123 8 5 2 4 3
At first, I tried to use "strsplit(U)" but because of the problems I enonced, it doesn't work.
Oh and when I copy and paste the text file in excel, it gives me the right table.
Thank you very much in advance!
