read.table()-1

 

 

 所以打开读取GSE42872_series_matrix.txt.gz文件时，参数comment.char = "!"就表示!后面的注释文件不用读取。

> exprSet <- read.table("GSE42872_series_matrix.txt.gz",sep = "\t",fill = T,comment.char = "!",header = T)
> class(exprSet)
[1] "data.frame"
> dim(exprSet)
[1] 33297     7
> head(exprSet)

用notepad打开这个文件发现，有很多以!开头的注释行，难怪！

为啥用双反斜杠，前一个斜杠表示转义
