Reading a non-standard CSV File into R -


im trying read following csv file r

http://asic.gov.au/reports/ytd/2015/rr20150511-001-ssdailyytd.csv

the code im using is:

url <- "http://asic.gov.au/reports/ytd/2015/rr20150511-001-ssdailyytd.csv" shorthistory <- read.csv(url, skip = 4)

however keep getting following error.

1: in readlines(file, skip) : line 1 appears contain embedded nul
2: in readlines(file, skip) : line 2 appears contain embedded nul
3: in readlines(file, skip) : line 3 appears contain embedded nul
4: in readlines(file, skip) : line 4 appears contain embedded nul

which leads me believe utilizing function incorrectly failing every line.

any appreciated!

due blank @ top left corners, read.csv() doesn't seem work. file has read line line (readlines()) followed skipping the first 4 lines.

below shows example. file open file connection (file()) , read line line (readlines()). first 4 lines skipped subsetting. file tab-delimited strsplit() applied recursively. still kept string lists , should reformatted data frame or other suitable types.

# open file connection , read lines path <- "http://asic.gov.au/reports/ytd/2015/rr20150511-001-ssdailyytd.csv" con <- file(path, open = "rt", raw = true) text <- readlines(con, skipnul = true) close(con)  # skip first 4 lines text <- text[5:length(text)] # recursively split string text <- do.call(c, lapply(text, strsplit, split = "\t"))  text[[1]][1:4] # [1] "1-page ltd ordinary" "1pg "                "1330487"             "1.72"

c++ - Difference between pre and post decrement in recursive function argument -

i have following sample code used pre-decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(--c); cout << c << endl; return; } } this function give output input 4 : dp3 dp2 dp1 dp0 0 1 2 3 but when use post decrement void function(int c) { if(c == 0) { return; } else { cout << "dp" << c << endl; function(c--); cout << c << endl; return; } } output goes in infinite loop dp4 can explain me in detail why happens ? this happens because function(c--) called same value of c , when finishes c decremented. recursively called, hence called same value no chance of return , hit stack overflow error. assume this, int x = 1, y = 0; y = x++ result y == 1 , x == 2. if y = ++x , bot x , y 2.
