Hi,

I think that providing the output from str(data array or whatever you have) would help.
Because, for now, we don't have much idea of what you really have.
Moreover, some sample data is always welcomed (using the function dput for example)

sorry I had a mistake sending my question without a subject. I do resend again. 
Please excuse me.
Hello
I have a data array with soil variables (caperf), in which the variable "clay" 
is factor (as I see entering str(caperf)) . I need to do a regression model, so I need to 
have arcilla (=clay) as a numeric variable.  For that I have entered

as.numeric(as.character(arcilla))

and even entering
'as.numeric(levels(arcilla))[arcilla]'the variable is resting as factor, and 
the linear model is not valid (for my purposes).
The decimal commas have been converted to decimal points, so I have no idea of 
what to do.
Thanks a lot
