in reply to Re^4: scoping problem?
in thread scoping problem?
Not sure what to say about being coy with the code -- what I've posted is exactly what I'm running.
As for the data, I've been cutting-and-pasting directly from the file I'm working with.
In any event, perhaps choroba is right that there are non-printable characters in the file. How would I go about figuring that out?
Slightly related idea: could something wierd about the encoding of the text file be going on?
Again, thanks to all of you for your help
