Hi List,
when supplying a vector of atomic vector classes to read.table, I get:
# column classes
colClasses=c("character", "character","numeric", "numeric", "numeric",
"numeric", "numeric", "numeric",
"numeric", "numeric",
"numeric", "numeric")
# Error:
Error in scan(file, what, nmax, sep, dec, quote, skip, nlines,
na.strings, (from #2) :
scan() expected 'a real', got '894.6'
How is '894.6' not 'a real [number]'?
Thanks for the ensuing enlightenment or punishment...
Best,
Brian
