As you are reading the data from a file anyway, the simplest
solution would probably be to use the colClasses argument ot
read.table in order to get numeric avlues in the first place.

Or use stringsAsFactors = FALSE,

If you have a number of variables greater than 10, setting up colClasses can be fairly laborious and error prone, at least for this newbie.
