r - read.csv, header on first line, skip second line -


i have csv file 2 header rows, first row want header, second row want discard. if following command:

data <- read.csv("hk stocks bbg.csv", header = t, stringsasfactors = false)

the first row becomes header , second row of file becomes first row of data frame:

  xaaaaaaaaa       x x.1     xbbbbbbbbbb     x.2 x.3 1         date px_last  na         date px_last  na 2   31/12/2002  38.855  na   31/12/2002  19.547  na 3   02/01/2003  38.664  na   02/01/2003  19.547  na 4   03/01/2003  40.386  na   03/01/2003  19.547  na 5   06/01/2003  40.386  na   06/01/2003  19.609  na 6   07/01/2003  40.195  na   07/01/2003  19.609  na

i want skip second row of csv file , get

  x1.hk.equity       x x.1 x2.hk.equity     x.2 x.3 2   31/12/2002  38.855  na   31/12/2002  19.547  na 3   02/01/2003  38.664  na   02/01/2003  19.547  na 4   03/01/2003  40.386  na   03/01/2003  19.547  na 5   06/01/2003  40.386  na   06/01/2003  19.609  na 6   07/01/2003  40.195  na   07/01/2003  19.609  na

i tried data <- read.csv("hk stocks bbg.csv", header = t, stringsasfactors = false, skip = 1) returns:

        date px_last  x     date.1 px_last.1 x.1 1 31/12/2002  38.855 na 31/12/2002    19.547  na 2 02/01/2003  38.664 na 02/01/2003    19.547  na 3 03/01/2003  40.386 na 03/01/2003    19.547  na 4 06/01/2003  40.386 na 06/01/2003    19.609  na 5 07/01/2003  40.195 na 07/01/2003    19.609  na 6 08/01/2003  40.386 na 08/01/2003    19.547  na

the header row comes second line of csv file, not first line.

thank you.

this should trick:

all_content = readlines("file.csv") skip_second = all_content[-2] dat = read.csv(textconnection(skip_second), header = true, stringsasfactors = false)

the first step using readlines reads entire file list, each item in list represents line in file. next, discard second line using fact negative indexing in r means select index. finally, feed data read.csv process data.frame.

java - pagination of xlsx file to XSSFworkbook using apache POI -

Unlimited choices in BASH case statement -

consider simple bash snippet: case $option in 1) image=${options[0]%.tar} ;; 2) image=${options[1]%.tar} ;; 3) image=${options[2]%.tar} ;; 4) image=${options[3]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" exit 1 esac in real script numbers goes 30. makes pretty long. can somehow specify cases variable? something this: case $option in $i) image=${options[$(($i-1))]%.tar} any pointer appreciated. you can match against multiple patterns in single clause: case $option in 1|2|3: echo "$option one, 2 or three" ;; esac if still typing you, can use simple pattern matching: case $option in # following matches # - single-digit numbers 0-9 # - two-digit numbers starting either 1 or 2 # - number 30 [0-9]|[12][0-9]|30) image=${options[$(($option-1))]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" 1>&2 exit 1 esac

apache - How do I stop my index.php being run twice for every user -

we've got webapp initial html served using apache , php. i noticed index.php being run twice every request. seems caused / effected rewrite rules in our .htaccess - rewritecond %{http_host} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc,or] rewritecond %{server_name} ^(www\.|hotels\.)ourdomain\.com$ [nc] rewriterule (.*) http://ourdomain.com/$1 [r=301] rewriterule ^hotels/([^/]+)/?\??(.*)$ ?d=$1&$2 [qsa] the final rule moving parameter url path query string. i.e. http://ourdomain.com/hotels/vegas?someparam=1 becomes http://ourdomain.com?d=vegas&someparam=1 if go directly query string version index.php run once. if use url redirected, index.php run twice (i'm checking adding error_log('end of index.php') file). so example going http://ourdomain.com/hotels/paris hits file twice http://ourdomain.com?d=paris hits once. i've seen this question , had @ blog mentioned , , can't find empty string url's (i've tried using yslow process). ...
