Regards. I'm a beginner in programing, so I have a basic question for you. If someone could help me please..
I want to create a function, which will be able to export files from excel. I tried with a <- read.csv(file, sep =",", as.is = TRUE, row.names = 1, header = TRUE), .. but instead of numbers, it gives me strings for example: "299,311". I can handle this string for example: b <- "299,311" as.numeric(gsub(",", "", b)) 299311 Now, I´m interested how to inport it from that file,. I tried with a <- read.csv(file, sep =",", as.is = TRUE, row.names = 1, header = TRUE) a <- gsub(",", "", a) a <- as.numeric(a) But it doesn't work. I used search engine on forum, but didn't find any function that I could help with. I would be very gratefull if someone could help me.
