Hi all,
I have been away from R for far too many months and have two questions.
One is likely simple, but not found under help or in many of the
available R ref., books.
1. How does one save the results of an analysis from the main console
to a file without the need to copy and paste?
2. What tools (possibly Plyr or reshape) can be used to remove
duplicated entries in a data matrix?
I have some 650,000 records in a table (text values for most fields)
that were imported form a number of sources and now I find that table is
inflated by anywhere from 2-20 duplicated entries. I need to remove all
dupes and only retain unique values. Excel is choking on this so I
thought R would be a better and more efficient option.
Tnx,
Bruce
