If this is to be done at the stage of data-inpuyt then definition of an
appropriate as.method and reference to that method in colClasses would be the
way to go. There are several worked examples in the archives.
setClass("Accounting")
setAs("character", "Accounting",
function(from) as.numeric( gsub("[$(),]", "", from))
)
contribs <- read.table(text=Vec, colClasses=c(CTRIB_AMT="Accounting"))
contribs
