Hi, I have a file that looks like this :
one,0 two,0.591,0 three,0.356,0.350,0 four,-0.098,0.072,0.380,0 five,0.573,0.408,0.382,0.062,0 six,0.156,0.232,0.517,0.424,0.303,0 seven,0.400,0.414,0.611,0.320,0.401,0.479,0 eight,0.282,0.375,0.512,0.346,0.308,0.463,0.605,0 nine,0.519,0.484,0.467,0.167,0.455,0.311,0.574,0.557,0 I want to create a data matrix out of it, so I tried this : x<-read.table('test.csv',fill=TRUE, sep=",",dec=".",row.names=1) row.names(x) # print row names output [1] "one" "two" "three" "four" "five" "six" "0" "seven" "0.479" [10] "eight" "0.463" "nine" "0.311" Even numerics are taken in as row names. What am I missing here ?
