    <p>I have five text files that are produced by an <code>R</code> program, (each of them having header) that are to be combined into a single file. I have combined them using <code>rbind</code> and my problem is when I combine them, the resultant output has headers attached at end of each file for example, if the headers are supposed </p> <pre><code>Combine Resultant file A B C D 1 3 5 7 ------------&gt; Text file1 6 9 0 3 A B C D 1 3 6 7 ------------&gt; Text file 2 5 7 8 3 and so on.... </code></pre> <p>instead of that I want the output file to have only one header at line 1 so the file should look like:</p> <pre><code>Combine Resultant file A B C D 1 3 5 7 ------------&gt; Text file1 6 9 0 3 1 3 6 7 ------------&gt; Text file 2 5 7 8 3 and so on.... </code></pre> <p>Can anyone tell me how to do that? The code I have is:</p> <pre><code>S1 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/sim_1_200.txt",sep=";",header= TRUE); S2 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/sim_201_400.txt", sep=";",header= TRUE); S3 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/sim_401_600_b.txt", sep=";",header= TRUE); S4 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/sim_601_800.txt", sep=";",header= TRUE); S5 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/sim_901_1000.txt",sep=";",header= TRUE); S6 &lt;- read.table("C:/Simulation_Results/simulations_801_900.txt",sep=";",header= TRUE); options(max.print=28.5E6); S7 &lt;- rbind(S1,S2,S3,S4,S5,S6) write.table(S7, file="C:/Simulation_Results/simulation_1_1000.txt", sep=";", row.names=TRUE, col.names=FALSE, quote = FALSE); </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COThis looks correct to me. Maybe the error is in the txt files generated by your other program. Could we see `head(S1)` and `tail(S1)`, please? Also, it's helpful to format the code in your question (highlight the code sections and push the code button -- the one with 1010 on it).

    2. COCan we see see head and tail of S1? Is part of the problem commas and decimals? Like Dwin pointed out, your R code that write the txt files is probably misforming the headers.

    3. CODo you have the code that generates the files? If so, I would just save the tables to individual variables x1 <- as.data.frame(table1) for example. And then rbind()

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
