need finite 'ylim' values-error

Question

I want to show big numbers in a plot in r. but I get this error:

my numbers are:

[1] \"9,02E+11\" \"9,02E+11\" \"9,02E+11\" \"9,02E+11\" \"9,02E+11\" \"9         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

plot(sapply(dataliste, function(x)gsub(",", ".", x)))

As Roman Luštrik pointed out, you most likely have characters in your data. You can generally plot them or convert them with as.numeric. However, since you have a , instead of a . in your strings, the conversion to numeric fails. Example:

> as.numeric("9,02E+11")
[1] NA
Warning message:
NAs introduced by coercion 
> as.numeric("9.02E+11")
[1] 9.02e+11

With gsub, as above, you can substitute the , for a . for each number and plotting should work.
