I use read.csv() to import data to R. The problem is that R fits the console's width and I get all my data in several levels. I need all my data together and be able to scroll through it with the scroll bar. Is it possible?

  • Use Rstudio and View(your_data) command...you will get your data in a spreadsheet like tab. – Miha Trošt Mar 13 '15 at 12:51
  • Hi, you can modify the width of the consol to fit your screen. To get the width of your screen try **options()$width**, and to modify it type **options(width = my_value)**. – Mamoun Benghezal Mar 13 '15 at 12:51
  • glimpse(mydata) from the dplyr package is good at this, but of course you don't the all the observations... you can't have both! – agenis Mar 13 '15 at 13:00

As Miha mentioned in a comment RStudio is a great option for this. It's free to download and makes lots of standard data exploration a lot easier than the console. Also, if your data is small enough that you would want to scroll through it a simple text editor should do the trick. Sublime Text 2 is my favorite.

  • Thank you for your answers! I installed RStudio. Still using read.csv() and RStudio breaks the data into lines while displaying it. Do i do something wrong? I just need standart column-row/wide data format. – Alexander Mar 23 '15 at 16:39
  • The problem was with a separator. Once it was specified, it run properly. – Alexander Mar 23 '15 at 16:51
