Unable to find the solution to my problem.
I am trying to read a text file using r. File contains a single row and separated by number of characters.
000341656.0000000000000000004.6000000000000000009.0000000000000000050.9566787004000000052.0000000000000000072.8621215573000000007.0000000000000000050.0361010830000000047.2490974729000000054.5560183531000000006.0000000000000000049.9711191336000000047.0397111913000000043.1488475260000000023.0000000000000000046.6281588448000000040.1516245487000000038.4653540241000000002.0000000000000000046.2129963899000000041.9963898917000000037.3850068798000000030.0000000000000000046.0144404332000000040.0324909747000000027.0930952140000000003.0000000000000000043.3971119134000000032.4801444043000000010.4757238771
First value is of 20 digit floating.9 digit followed by 10 decimal digit.
The file contains between 22 and 30 values, each 20 digits long (decimal digit set to '.')
What i am unable to figure out how to get rid of this extra 0.
Any lead of help is highly appreciable.
You can read data in a fixed-width format with read.fwf:
> read.fwf("./d.txt", widths=rep(20,30))

You need to know how many fields and how big they are. You didnt say how many lines in the file but I copied your line in twice (hence the duplication).
