In header the row of the sample data file, the column names, "sampdate" and "param" are separated by a period, not comma. That would cause the error you're getting.

The import function:
sal_temp <- read_csv("../data/geochem/sal-temp.csv", col_names = TRUE,
                     col_types = list (
                         site_nbr = col_character(),
                         sampdate = col_date(),
                         param = col_character(),
                         quant = col_double(),
                         unit = col_character()
                     ))

The response from R:
source('../scripts/test.r')
Warning message:
The following named parsers don't match the column names: sampdate, param

I searched the web to see if 'temp' is causing the problem and didn't find
an answer; my search term might have been flawed.

If that string is a problem please suggest an alternative.

TIA,

Rich
