[R] New to R

[Bert Gunter]

Others may help, but I suggest first going through an R tutorial or
two to learn about R's basic data structures, i/o, etc. This list can
help, but cannot substitute for such homework. Some tutorial
recommendations can be found here:
https://www.rstudio.com/online-learning/#r-programming

There are many more, of course.

See also:
?read.table (etc. in the Help page)
?write.table

Cheers,
Bert
