Hi, Is there a way to make read.table consider NaN as a string of characters rather than the internal NaN? Changing the na.strings argument does not seems to have any effect on how R interprets the NaN string (while is does not the the NA string)
con <- textConnection(object = 'A,B\n1,NaN\nNA,2') tmp <- read.table(con, header = TRUE, sep = ',', na.strings = '', stringsAsFactors = FALSE) close.connection(con) tmp class(tmp[,1]) class(tmp[,2]) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
