发帖数: 6456 | 1 I was reading a tab delimited file using either read.table() or read.csv().
read.table() cannot read the whole file as it claims that some row has less
elements than others, but read.csv() can read the whole table without error.
What is the difference between read.table() and read.csv()?

发帖数: 151 | 2 read.csv() is used to read CSV which is delimited by commas. read.table is
usually used to read raw data delimited by space. For your case, reading tab
delimited files, you can also try read.delim(..., sep="\t"). | M*P

read.table(,sep="\t",comment="",quote="")
Some of the values must contain "#" or "\" which caused the problem. | M*P
