Depending what you're doing with the data, you might want
    colClasses=c("factor","numeric")

Hi,

You can either manually specify colClasses or the asis argument.  See
?read.csv for more details.

If you just had those two columns, something like:

      read.table(header = TRUE, text = "
      sex group
      F 1
      T 2
      ", colClasses = c("character", "integer"))

Cheers,

Josh


read.csv("file.csv", colClasses = c("character", "integer"))

Hi,
I have a peculier problem in R-Project that is when my CSV file have one
column with all values as 'F' the R-Project converting this 'F' to FALSE.
Can some one please suggest how to stop this convertion. Because I want to
use 'F' in my calculations and show it in screen. for example my data is
like

sex  group
F       1
F       2
F       3

but when I use read.csv and load the csv file data is converting it to

sex          group
FALSE       1
FALSE       2
FALSE       3
but i want it as source data like

sex group
F      1
F      2
F      3


Thanks in advance,
D V Kiran Kumar
