I go back and forth about doing this too (setting a global hammer to stringsAsFactors), but then other things might mess up -- imagine a scenario where a package is written with the assumption that the default `stringsAsFactors=TRUE` setting hasn't been changed, which could then break when you go the nuclear-global-override route. -steve -- Steve Lianoglou Computational Biologist Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Genentech ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
