What is going on?
Presumably, read.table is not obeying quotes when removing what it thinks is the header line. Another variation is this: > tab <- read.table(stdin(), head=T) 0: "B1 0: B2" 1: 1 2: > tab B1.B2 1 B2" 2 1 It's somehow connected to the pushBack(c(lines, lines), file) bits in readtable.R, but I don't quite get it. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
