Well that's different. Can you restart R and get the same error message? If so, change print() to print.default() to get around the class error for now.
And I just want to make sure of one thing: you did actually change "valueFromImport" to whatever you named the output of the read.csv() call, right? I don't know why what would have lead to the error you got, but one never knows... If none of the above works, please reply with the result of dput() on your data and the results of sessionInfo() Michael PS -- It's good practice to cc the list as well.
