Hi
I'm reading a CSV file using read.table, and it keeps importing a text
variable as a factor. To overcome this, I've used the as.is command
referring to the variable in question (called "stim")
data<-read.table(file.choose(), header=T, sep=",", as.is = "stim")
However, "stim" is still imported as a factor. I notice there are other
read.table options related to this issue, but the help files don't appear to
contain much detail on these.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Nick Riches
