I just cannot fathom why anyone who want to write numerics with those
separators in a flat file. That's usually not for human consumption,

I've run into this occasionally. My current solution is simply to read
it into Excel, re-format the offending column(s) by unchecking the
thousand separator box, and write it back out. Not exactly ideal to
say the least. If anyone can provide a better solution in R, I'm all

One possibility would be to use something like the following
post-import:
WTPP
[1] 1,106.8250 1,336.5138
str(WTPP)
Factor w/ 2 levels 1,106.8250,1,336.5138: 1 2
as.numeric(gsub(,, , WTPP))
[1] 1106.825 1336.514
Essentially strip the ',' characters from the factors and then coerce
