Hey David, i tried all this - it doesn´t work :(
file<-read.csv2(tmp,sep=";",skip="5") # or file<-read.csv2(tmp,sep=";",skip="5",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)a<-(relevant<-file[,2]) clean <- as.numeric(levels(a))[as.integer(a)] clean<-as.numeric(as.character(a)) i often use noquote and strsplit and then convert data, but i never dealed with that kind of data and it drives me crazy =) -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Data-read-as-labels-tp4629901p4630112.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
