Hi all, I have a problem to read csv file with comma as decimal. The numbers were readed as strings.
I used the following string in R, but I do not understand why it does not work. tab <- read.csv2("Specimen_RawData_1.csv", header = TRUE, sep = ";", dec = ",", nrows = -1) In addition, I copy/past into the post the link to the csv file generated by my instrument. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/95607996/Specimen_RawData_1.csv The file is encoded in ANSI, I tried also the following string, but the result was the same tab <- read.csv2("Specimen_RawData_1.csv", header = TRUE, sep = ";", dec = ",", nrows = -1, encoding = "ANSI") The possibility to open the file into a text editor and replace comma with point is a crazy way, because I have around 1000 files to elaborate. The only way for me is to use R. I hope that someone can help me to find the issue.
