R-devel,
When I run the following code on the attached file,
tmp <- scan("C:/temp.csv",
what=list("character","numeric"),
sep=",")
Then tmp[[2]] is a character vector. My impression from the help file
is that it should be a numeric as specified by 'what'
sessionInfo()
R version 2.5.0 (2007-04-23)
i386-pc-mingw32
locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United
States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United
States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252
attached base packages:
[1] "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets"
"methods" "base"
other attached packages:
lattice gdata
"0.15-5" "2.3.1"
My apologies if this is due to my misunderstanding.
Ben
