While importing .csv files into R, all data are converted to factor-by default. But, how can I preserve the original format of the data like numeric to numeric, integer to integer, character to character etc while importing from csv to R environment.
I tried several ways, no thing helps. I used 'stringsAsFactor = FALSE' command, it did convert all data to characters. But, I wanted to preserve the numeric data to be in integer or double. Any idea? examples?
