# We will work with 3 different files:
#     - "Data/rubis_01.txt"
#     - "Data/population.csv"
#     - "Data/FTIR_rocks.xlsx"

# Load them into separate `data.frames`. 
# Look into the options of `read.table()`, `read.csv()`, `readxl::read_excel()`, to get the proper data fields. 
# Make sure that the `rubis_01` data.frame has `w` and `intensity` as column names.

rubis_01   <- ___("Data/rubis_01.txt", ___)
population <- ___("Data/population.csv")
FTIR_rocks <- ___("Data/FTIR_rocks.xlsx") # look at the `range` and `sheet` arguments


# Print their dimensions and column names.

# We will use the TGA data file `"Data/ATG.txt"`

# Load it into a `data.frame`. Look into the options of [`read.table()`](https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/utils/versions/3.6.2/topics/read.table) to get the proper data fields.
# Hints:
# - check how many lines you have to read
# - check how many lines you have to skip before reading
# - you need to skip the line with the unit
