[R] problems with read.csv

2009-11-02 Thread Fang (Betty) Yang
Dear all,

 

I'd like to ask help on R code to get the same results as the following
Splus code:

 

 

indata-importData(/home/data_new.csv)

 

indata[1:5,4]

[1] 0930 1601 1006 1032 1020

 

I tried the following R code:

 

 indata-read.csv(/home/data_new.csv)

 indata[1:5,4]

[1]  930 1601 1006 1032 1020

 

I'd like the first one to be 0930, too.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

 

Betty

Superficially, one answer is

indata - read.csv(/home/data_new.csv, colClasses=character)

but I'm not sure that's what you want...

Do you get what you desire with setting as.is=TRUE?

indata-read.csv(/home/data_new.csv, as.is=TRUE )

Also see the colClasses arguments in read.xxx functions.



indata[1:5,4]


[1]  930 1601 1006 1032 1020

So you want the strings (aka character vectors) to stay strings.

I use 

indata = read.csv(file.choose(),header=TRUE)

of course you can specify your file.
