Ok, One more data loading quesiton:
I am loading a file that has some comment lines preceded by the '#'
character, and then two data description lines, and then the data. The
first description line is a tab separated list of the variables in the file:
agency_cd site_no parameter_cd dd_nu year_nu month_nu mean_va
The second line is a list of the number of characters ("s") or numbers ("n")
each column takes up:
5s 15s 5s 3n 4s 2s 12n
Following that, the data is in columns corresponding to the previous two
description lines.
What I want to do is load the data into appropriately named vectors, (some
of the columns are strings, some are numbers) just using the information
from the first two "description lines." I am doing this a vast number of
times, so automation is necessary (in other words, I can't edit each file by
hand to put it into a certain format).
How do I parse this out?
