R Language: Put matrix in array Error


I am working on data analysis and trying to write the simplest code for now.

setwd("/Users/Gizmo/Desktop/Harry")
harry_data <- dir()

HarryData <- array(0,dim=c(4464,8,15))

h13 <- read.table(harry_data[1],skip=2,header=FALSE)

HarryData[,,1] <- matrix(h13,4464,8)

I checked dimensions for HarryData, h13, and matrix and they are all in same dimension. But if I put data, h13 in HarryData, it doesn't work.

I get this error Error in HarryData[, , 1] : incorrect number of dimensions if HarryData[,,1]on Console

Part of My data in h13 is like this obtained from ftp://amrc.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/aws/10min/rdr/2013/089000113.r:

What can be the problem causing this?


Solution

  • you should use as.matrix instead of matrix:

    HarryData[,,1] <- as.matrix(h13)
