you could try something along these lines:

DF <- data.frame(V1 = c(0, 0.9, " ", 0.8, 0.1, 0),
    V2 = c(0.9, " ", 0.8, 0.7, "  ", 1))

DF
sapply(DF, function (x)
    as.numeric(gsub("(^ +)|( +$)", "0", x)))


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

        0               0.9

I would like to fill the empty cells with a 0... how to address those empty 
cells?

thanks for your help!

best,
Simone
