Hello,
Try using option stringsAsFactors = FALSE.
Hope this helps,

It might be a primitive question but I have a file of text and there is no
separator between character on each line and the strings on each line have the
same length. The format is like the following
absfjdslf
jfdldskjff
jfsldfjslk
When I read the file with read.table("myfile",colClasses = "character"), instead of
putting the strings in a table of number of rows x length of string, read.table saves the file in a table of
number of rows x 1 and each element seems to be a factor. Why does read.table not account for colClasses =
"character"?
thanks,
Carol
