hello respected ppl... am a engg. student...i was trying to use R in statistical calculations now the problem is..i imported a huge tsv file onto R...it has a column which gives cost...and it has "$" with each numerical value in this column...it is something like this..$.05,$.1,$.075...and so on.. R is reading it as "character vector"... i tried using all the arguments but could only change it to a "factor" i want to read it as numericals...and perform further operations.. i know it is a stupid problem but can any1 help me get outta this... thank you all...!!! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-ignore-or-omit-somethings-while-reading-the-data-table-tp14578131p14578131.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
