This seems like it should be an error - I suspect it might be caused by the escaped quote (\") in line 4 column 432 causing the first column to be treated as column names: > read.csv(url, row.names = NULL)[, 1] [1] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/109-hr-5825/387248"; [2] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/110-hr-3546/378743"; [3] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/111-s-908/365504"; [4] "http://maplight.org/us-congress/bill/111-hr-3245/373358"; Hadley -- Assistant Professor / Dobelman Family Junior Chair Department of Statistics / Rice University http://had.co.nz/ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
