Hi Jeff,
Ah, thanks a lot! Yes, meanwhile I also switched to csv. This still
requires
knowledge about the regional settings (Sys.getlocale), but it's a
lot more
transparent.
I'm quite new to R and I must say that stuff like this is eating up
a LOT of my
time. All those invisible data type conversions are driving me nuts.
StringsAsFactors=F should be the default, for instance.
You can set that (if spelled correctly) with options in
your .Rprofile, and some knowledgeable people have made that choice.
