Hi Stefano,
Why do you *need* to add the quotes to the text file? If you leave them
out, any of the standard methods of reading data (i.e.,
read.table(filename, sep="") should work. See help(read.table),
help(scan), or help(read.fwf) for more info.

and I have to import it into R. The problem is that I have to add the quotes at the beginning and end of the file, like shown here below. I tried to use read.zoo (in fact I will have to use the zoo package afterwards), but I have not been able to do what I need.
Could you please help me in that? (not necessarily with read.zoo, any method will be fine!)
