r - Problems reading in table with unclear line-end symbol -


i trying read in .txt file.

i have researched here , found error in reading in data set in r - however, did not solve problem.

the data political contributions listed federal election commission of u.s. @ ftp://ftp.fec.gov/fec/2014/webk14.zip

upon inspection of .txt, realized data weirdly structured. especially, end of line not separated @ first cell of next line (not "|", not space).

strangely enough, import via excel , access seems work fine. however, r import not work.

to avoid error in scan(file = file, = what, sep = sep, quote = quote, dec = dec, : line 90 did not have 27 elements error, use following command:

webk14 <- read.table(header = false, fill = true, colclasses = "character", sep = "|", file = "webk14.txt", stringsasfactors = false, dec = ".", col.names = c("cmte_id", "cmte_nm", "cmte_tp", "cmte_dsgn", "cmte_filing_freq", "ttl_receipts", "trans_from_aff", "indv_contrib", "other_pol_cmte_contrib", "cand_contrib", "cand_loans", "ttl_loans_received", "ttl_disb", "tranf_to_aff", "indv_refunds", "other_pol_cmte_refunds", "cand_loan_repay", "loan_repay", "coh_bop", "coh_cop", "debts_owed_by", "nonfed_trans_received", "contrib_to_other_cmte", "ind_exp", "pty_coord_exp", "nonfed_share_exp","cvg_end_dt"))

this not result in error, however, results a) have different line count excel import , b) fail correctly separate columns (which reason a))

i not detour via excel , directly import r. ideas doing wrong?

it might related symbols inside variable names turn of interpretation of these using comment.char="", gives you:

webk14 <- read.table(header = false, fill = true, colclasses = "character", comment.char="",sep = "|",file = "webk14.txt", stringsasfactors = false, dec = ".", col.names = c("cmte_id", "cmte_nm", "cmte_tp", "cmte_dsgn", "cmte_filing_freq", "ttl_receipts", "trans_from_aff", "indv_contrib", "other_pol_cmte_contrib", "cand_contrib", "cand_loans", "ttl_loans_received", "ttl_disb", "tranf_to_aff", "indv_refunds", "other_pol_cmte_refunds", "cand_loan_repay", "loan_repay", "coh_bop", "coh_cop", "debts_owed_by", "nonfed_trans_received", "contrib_to_other_cmte", "ind_exp", "pty_coord_exp", "nonfed_share_exp","cvg_end_dt"))

transpose - Maple isnt executing function but prints function term -

im using maple im in worksheetmode tried using maple input , 2d input , want transpose matrix a: := `<|>`(`<,>`(1, .5, -2), `<,>`(.5, 9/4+b, 5+3*b), `<,>`(-2, 5+3*b, 18+9*b+4*a)); b:= transpose(a); when exectute sheet dont translated values, there same input. matrix looks same input matrix plus function term. you can see picture in following link: why arent functions executed? meanwhile b:=a^+ doing right way , transposed matrix. other functions return function body instead needed values... if using 2d input mode (the default) space you've got between transpose , bracketed (b) interpreted multiplcation. rid of such space. also, either load package @ start of document like, with(linearalgebra): before calling transpose command package, or call it's full name like, linearalgebra:-transpose(b);
